Chicago Christmas tree recycling

If you have a real Christmas tree, you can take it to one of the locations listed at ChicagoRecycles.org from now to 1/17. Our nearest location is Kennedy Park on Western.

It's a much better alternative than putting out in the trash and having it end up in a landfill. If you take it for recycling, it gets turned into mulch that will be used to help other trees. You can also get mulch for yourself if you bring a container for taking it home.

 

road closure at 107th and Prospect - update

 In case you haven't been that way recently, there is a road closure at the intersection of 107th and Prospect for utility work. It looks like a Water Dept. project and is likely to take a while, depending on weather. 

There's detour signage in SOME places, but they neglected to put any on southbound Prospect. Some geniuses driving south on Prospect decided it was okay to drive across a couple of lawns to go from Prospect to westbound 107th. Who does that? 

I would encourage you to contact the ward office and demand that detour signage be put in place on southbound Prospect.  Here's a link.

I'm not sure if eastbound 107th needs detour signage between Longwood and Prospect, as I haven't gone that way since the construction started. If you're familiar with current conditions there and can confirm that there is no detour signage for eastbound traffic, please leave a comment, and please tell the ward office that this is NOT acceptable. East Beverly and Morgan Park deserve the same level of service as the rest of the ward.

Ridge Historical Society on 5/16

On Friday 5/16, Ridge Historical Society is hosting a lecture on "The Forgotten House from Our Community’s Founding" about the discovery of a house from the early days of our community. It was built by one of the community’s earliest settler families just a few years after they aided Black freedom seekers nearby. Given the current condition of the house, this is a history you'll want to learn before it is possibly lost to time. 

Check out this lecture at 10621 S. Seeley on 5/16 starting at 7 pm.
