Another ugly shoe box proposal

Developers: Richard Aronson and Scott Sinar

Email blast from Alderman Joe Moore: Yes

Developer history of campaign contributions to Alderman Joe Moore: Yes


RP1000 suggests that you attend this meeting to oppose the demolition of the Historic Wisdom Bridge Theatre. Rich Aronson is known as a lightweight developer who often buckles under pressure.

As with all 49th Ward developer meetings, Alderman Joe Moore has previously been paid-off and will be in support of the project.

Developers stick together, so many former pay-offs will be seeded in the meeting to show support. Although the deck is loaded, outstanding community opposition can sink this project.


Please attend the meeting at:

Willye B. White Recreation Center 1610 W. Howard Street Chicago, IL. 60626, on

Wednesday, May 5th 7pm.

Both designs, in my opinion are eyesores. I agree with TftInChi that the developers should pay to do it right with traditional materials or leave it alone.

I think that much of the opposition to developers in Rogers Park is due to the many empty lots and dangerous holes in the ground developers have been littering our neighborhood with.

One of many examples is Chad Zuric’s foreclosure after demolishing the Adelphi Theater. We, Rogers Parkers did not take that lightly at all.
