More musical time travel...

ward remap public meeting on 11/9

If you're interested in attending a public meeting about the proposed ward remap, there's one in the neighborhood on Wed. 11/9 at Morgan Park High School auditorium, 1744 W. Pryor Ave., from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

If you're unable to attend that meeting, there will be another on Thurs. 11/17 at City Hall City Council chambers, 121 N. LaSalle St. from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. I'm betting that one will be a bit more crowded.

Halloween music

last call

If you need one more Rainbow Cone fix before they close for winter, this weekend is your last chance. Give yourself a treat and give them a good fall sendoff.

Tomorrow is also the last farmers market of the season. They'll be at 95th and Longwood for that last visit, with plenty of delicious things.

I plan to enjoy both.
