Another power outage in Rogers Park

A power outage in the Rogers Park neighborhood left thousands in the dark, and nearly jeopardized the ventilators that were keeping some nursing home residents alive.

The power outage began around 8:15 p.m. and was restored by 9:30 p.m., according to ComEd spokesman Peter Pedraza. The outages affected approximately 3,300 people and occurred between Sheridan Road on the east, Clark Street on the west, Jonquil Terrace on the north, and Albion Avenue on the south, Pedraza said.

Brown-Out at 7301 N. Sheridan Road

Quest Network Services just received a brown-out for a few seconds.

It may be due to tomorrows electrical shut-down by Com-Ed from 9am- 4pm on the 7300 block of Sheridan Road, and the 1200 block of Sherwin Avenue.



This planned power outage is to completely replace the electrical system at the 1221 W. Sherwin gut rehab project.

Buildings affected by the power outage will not have lighting, heat, elevators, laundry facilites, hot water, or any kind of electricity for the entire day.

GEORGE'S UNLIT PUMPKIN PATCH

Pumpkins need light to grow. George's pumpkins are mighty fine this year. Although his Pumpkin Patch at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road has been OPEN for two weeks now, George is feeling a little in the dark.


You see, pumpkins also need light to be SOLD, and George has none of that. Oh, he wants it, alright, but his boss may have initiated some sort of misunderstanding with ComEd, who has not yet sent out someone to connect the power. Nor has the boss brought the promised "Pumpkins For Sale" signs.


Kris Luck, owner of Quest Network Services right next door provided some small, printed signs and a ceramic pumpkin which holds a lit candle. But George needs light, or his Halloween season will be a bust!


He opens early and stays open until after sunset, so try and get there soon!
