CTA rider: Blue Line stop 'inexcusable'
2009-11-03 00:00:00 Via Twitter, Tyler Travitz wrote to "Going Public" with complaints about the Chicago Avenue stop on the Blue Line. More photos are after the jump."I snapped the attached photos [Friday] at the Chicago Avenue Blue line stop. It gets like this every time there is a hard rain.Because the drainage is so poor, it backs up and sits for days, creating a very unpleasant moldy, musty smell. My biggest concern, however, is that someone is going to slip and fall and really hurt themselves.The floor is always slick. I find this inexcusable. The whole stop is disgusting in general (dingy, mold on the walls, poor lighting, etc.), but this adds another layer to the problem. Please help."...

Golf, Hotels and Non-Stop Las Vegas Action
2009-10-28 19:14:00 When I first visited Las Vegas in 1994, it was to see if the lights and attractions on the Strip would in any way blind me like a deer in headlights. At that time I did not play golf so the visit was purely for the "glamor" experience: to check out the myriad of marquees, dress for dinner, see top entertainers perform, visit the sites and to try my luck at the variety of casinos. The question was, how does the City of Lights, which is an approximate six hour connecting flight from my house compare with Atlantic City, only two-and-a-half hours from New York? Is Las Vegas worth a return trip? There are so many new mammoth-sized hotspots in Las Vegas filled with undeniably dramatic touches that it boggles the mind! In recent years travel from casino to casino got much easier with the creation of a new monorail system than when I initially rented the hottest Ford Mustang I could find those fifteen years ago. In Atlantic City, you can easily walk the boardwalk in an hour or so (depen...

Can positive loitering stop gang activity?
2009-10-20 23:03:00 Positive Loitering: Photo by Chris Sweda -Tribune Can positive loitering work? If you turn the lights on, the roaches, rodents, and centipedes will scatter. The same goes for drug pushers and ladies of the night who are trying to solicit their wares. It looks like north siders are gearing up to run the nefarious activity out by hanging out on corners to shew away the nonsense. Good idea or window service? Are gangs and prostitutes intimidated by a few residents carrying coffee cups? I think so. Staking your claim is a matter of pride and determination, and these residents on Leland Avenue and Sheridan Road aren't going to let up. Here's the operative question: Why aren't there positive loiterers...

Help Stop Hinsdale's Land Grab in Your Forest Preserve
2009-10-06 00:27:00 The Village of Hinsdale is attempting to turn 26 acres of Bemis Woods South "into a village park for its own large-scale recreation events, festivals and concerts."

Stop Them From Denying Your Coupons: Resources
2009-09-21 17:23:00 In the past couple of weeks I wrote about approaches you can take when a cashier tries to tell you that you can't use a certain coupon.

The complaint seeks an injunction requiring defendants to cease the wireless spam as well as statutory damages to the class (defined as anyone who has received one of these messages)....

Stop the nonsense now
2009-09-07 18:41:00 Just stop all of this nonsense now.Last Friday night on the high school football scene was both sad and senseless.Sad?I was informed that a player from Chicago Curie (Quaashi Chandler) had gone into full cardiac arrest on the sidelines of the Bolingbrook/Curie game at Bolingbrook with just 41 seconds to play in the game. Later on that same evening the young man passed away. Needless to say any type of excitement we all had on Friday night was suddenly ended with this tragic news.It just never really makes sense when someone so young is taken away so quickly. It's a coaches worst nightmare and it's something that as a father of two just always seems to hit me harder than ever...

Efforts by ACORN to Stop Foreclosures in Brooklyn
2009-09-01 16:45:00 Many members with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now or ACORN highlighted the aspect of maladjustment of loans by the mortgage lenders in a federal program to support the home owners to ward off foreclosures. The campaign alleged that the lenders failed to make proper use of $75-billion Home Affordable Modification Program by the Obama administration. In fact to give better focus on the issue ACORN met at Zachary Lareche’s home. Zachary Lareche for the last two years tried in vain to get his mortgage loan modified by the Litton Loan Services. Goldman Sachs & Co., owned company Litton in Houston also participated in the Home Affordable Modification Program and according to ACORN complains that they failed to provide the modifications within time and hence they could not stop the various foreclosures against the homeowners as the program promised to do. Lareche who purchased his house in 2001 observed that, “I fell behind on my loan when I lost my te...

Should Teams Stop Players From Representing Their Countries?
2009-08-20 15:20:00 The Dallas Mavericks are one of many teams that have not allowed their players from playing for their respective countries this summer. Dirk Nowitzki wasn't allowed to represent Germany, while J.J. Barea wasn't allowed to play for Puerto Rico. This issue creeps up with teams all the time.I'm going to tackle it from a team and players standpoint, then give my thoughts on it.If I pay guys millions of dollars to play basketball, why risk fatigue or injury for something that doesn't affect what your team's doing? That's how owners think. They think more about what it does for their endeavor, rather than the players themselves.I think of the case of Zydrunas Ilgauskas. A couple years back, he wanted to play for Lithuania. The Cavs declined because of his long injury history. While Z is now healthy for the most part, I'm sure the Cavs would still not allow it. That's just how these teams are with guys that get hurt.But then you look at what the Spurs and Lakers have done. The Spur...
