The Broken Heart of Rogers Park

If those like Alderman Joe Moore regard Rogers Park bloggers as vampires, Craig Gernhardt with his blog The Broken Heart of Rogers Park would be Dracula. This is not a negative statement, just an analogy.

Our tour of Rogers Park blogs would not be complete without this one included.

I remember a time before I started blogging. I was working very hard for nearly two years to renovate a beautiful 1920's vaudeville theater, The Adelphi. Back then, when I first learned of the threat of demolition, Craig supported my efforts and got the word out to the people of Rogers Park. With his support, and many others, we were able to get over 1,000 petition signatures in favor of saving the Adelphi Theater.

Later, I was influenced by The Broken Heart of Rogers Park, to write my own blog. After 283,420 visitors and almost 1,700 articles later, here we are at Rogers Park in 1,000 Words.

The following are a few recent posts specifically about Rogers Park from The Broken Heart:

While often called "negative", I pose the question: Would you like to be aware of the thieves, murderers and corrupt politicians in Rogers Park, or would you rather be ignorant about the facts and increase your chance of becoming a victim?
