Rogers Park "Most Diverse" title Challenged

Joe Zekas' Yo Chicago artcle, Seeking diversity? Skip Rogers Park and head for Skokie, challenges authenticism of Rogers Parks "Most Diverse" title.

The following is from the article:

Rogers Parkers lean heavily on the diversity meme when they describe their community to outsiders. At RogersPark.com, for example, the About page touts “Chicago’s most diverse neighborhood.”

You can read the complete article here.

Scott Philips outs Tom Westgard

I received this message from Scott Philips this morning:

Off topic, but I'm sorry to say a local blogger has been officially "outed" as a Joe Moore shill. It seems a local blogger, who claims to operate an objective reporting site, has been secretly working for Joe Moore, albeit in a rather sophomoric manner. I'm very disappointed to say that Tom Westgard has now been completely discredited. You might have seen the fake Twitter account "AldermanBrian," which blatently attacks Brian Whit...e and, presumably, me. While I support Brian, I am not working for his campaign. Having been in touch with Twitter and investigated in other ways, it has been confirmed that 49th Ward blogger Tom Westgard is the childish, spiteful little person behind this Twitter account. This pretty much blows the roof off of any attempts he makes to appear like a legitimate reporting site. If you follow the footprints, it also seems like Joe Moore is likely behind all of Tom's activities. Tom Westgard is clearly a shill for Joe Moore.

49th Ward Gunshots




"I'll admit I've been startled by the sound of gunshots in this neighborhood. And there are definitely druggies and too many young men hanging out on street corners (the unemployment rate among young black men in urban areas such as this is as high as 52 percent)."
