Have Craigslist users traded "dates for roses" with this?

Now that I have uploaded over five hundred of my original Rogers Park videos on the RP1000 youtube channel, I can feature relevant works on Rogers Park in 1,000 Words more frequently.

And speaking of relevancy, The Rogers Park Twitter theme of the day is "Enjoying our Lake and beaches".

Do you recognize this scam in Rogers Park?

A federal jury convicted a city building inspector today on charges he demanded thousands of dollars in bribes to overlook code violations.

Jose Hernandez was convicted on two counts of soliciting or accepting bribes. U.S. District Judge David Coar scheduled sentencing for Dec. 14.

Witnesses said Hernandez informed them of code violations, then gave them the number of a private "expediter" whom he said would take care of the violations for a fee.

Victims who didn't pay soon found a "stop work order" sticker on the front of their building, leading to months-long delays in obtaining permits and approvals to resume work.

A message from Bishop James Alan Wilkowski

I am so very grateful that as we remember 9/11 today, no Sacred Books have been burned.


I believe that it goes without saying that such an act would have been deplorable on so many levels.


While it is good that no Sacred Texts will be burned today, I am still deeply pained by the many hate filled blogs that desecrate the Moslem faith and those who follow it. For we all breathe the same air, drink the same water, relax under the same sun, view the same stars and share the same planet.


We call God by different names, but are called by Him as one name - His Children.


It is my hope that this day of reflection will be peaceful and sacred.


+James

Visiting businesses along Sheridan Road

I spent some time today visiting business along Sheridan Road in Rogers Park.

We first visited The Armadillo's Pillow to pick up some Rogers Park roasted, Songbird Coffee for our guests in The Parlor.




Checked out some used and hard to find books while we were at the bookstore.

and bought one of the new Flatts & Sharpe Music Company t-shirts from owner, Chris Bell.
(*and met new employee Cathlene Keen!)


I am pictured here with the Flatts & Sharpe Music Company t-shirt, on the mantle of The Parlor of Quest Network Services.
