Maybe if we trash cans like these outside all of our schools . . .

Sorry to report - a real estate office is locating in the Dr Wax space. I like real estate, it was just that I was hoping for a little more excitement!

Wow, look at this great web site from Missouri: http://www.pednet.org/
A coalition of city, health, park, transportation and business to encourage walking, biking, and public transit with the goal of a healthier community. I'm impressed.

Never mind - Braha, I have the address. I have all the licenses issued and applied for thru 11/12 and nothing is showing up. We are checking and will let you know.

what is the address?

Anybody know what business might be moving into the old Dr. Wax Record Shop?

Braha, you are right again.

The 17-year-old alleged car burglar arrested Monday was also arrested in Evanston in late October. The offense for his first arrest: auto burglary. His court appearance on the earlier car burglary charge was November 9 -- eight days ago.

Here's an article on the earlier arrest:

At 17 years old, he's on a bad path with two arrests for the same type of felony in less than a month.

Isn't t his the guy that was caught a while ago burglarizing cars?

From EvanstonNow:Man finds thief in his car
Monday, November 16, 2009, at 3:55 pm by Bill Smith

Evanston police say a man returning home from a walk with his family Friday evening found a burglar inside his car parked in the 200 block of Dempster Street.

Police say the man confronted the burglar, who ran off with the owner in pursuit. Other members of the owner's family called police, who searched the area and found a suspect matching the description of the thief in an alley in the 1400 block of Judson Avenue.

The car owner identified the suspect as the burglar and the suspect, identified as Joseph Wesley Phifer, 17, of 911 Ashland Ave., has now been charged with one felony count of auto burglary. He's scheduled to appear Tuesday in Skokie district court.

Isn't t his the guy that was caught a while ago burglarizing cars?

Anyone have CITY BUDGET concerns? If you wish to follow along with budget activities, see the link above. Anyone have any ideas that can help, I would appreciate your sharing them.

Hi Kristin,

Bike racks can be hard to find lots of places, for example, the Evanston Police Station! Sometimes, it's a safety issue, that once a bike is in a rack that it would stick out into a drive or something. That's why we end up locking up to a parking meter or a sign post. And sometimes an old rack, that doesn't have enough room to lock up the frame of the bike, isn't any better than none.

However, it sure can't hurt to all and talk to the manager of the facility and ask about a bike rack in the future. Sometimes they have just been moved around and not moved back.

Ann: As all things bike seem to be such a huge topic, perhaps it is time to start a separate message board as you have for other special topics like the downtown building, landlord issues, Oakton school, etc.

hi Bike Lady, Ann, and others - I just biked over to visit a friend at Three Crowns and went around the whole block twice looking for a bike rack. None, not even in the loading area tucked in the back. Is this just an issue my resident friend would have to take up with management, or is there any kind of ordinance suggesting or requiring a bike rack in Evanston at businesses of a certain size? I noticed new racks on the E side of the high school - great development! and they were full of bikes. That changes the climate for bike riders a lot.

:-) Not to worry; I understood; (though I admit the turkeys aren't exactly fried at Sun Wah; they're chinese-style BBQ) I know the chefs at Sun Wah personally, as well as their food, but I'm well aware that my tastes aren't everyone's...

Michele - I reread my post just now and let me explain. In certain parts of the country, Popeyes is known for their fried turkeys. When the question was asked I was with a 8th warder and I mentioned Candace's request to her and she got carried away explaining how Popeyes was out of this world. I feel safer going with a personal recommendation. She is a fabulous cook.

LOL! My feelings are exactly the opposite...to each his own!
