Rogers Park Hit

Southwest corner Sherwin and Sheridan Road (shortly after 7pm)

A 15 year old boy traveling with three friends was hit by a passing car while crossing at the intersection of Sherwin and Sheridan Road. Witnesses called police, who arrived very swiftly accompanied by an ambulance. The boy refused hospital treatment, became angry, and was consequently handcuffed by the police. More officers arrived and a decision was made to transport the young man to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston.

City Vs. Graffiti

This weeks Red Eye cover story is entitled "City Vs. Graffiti".

I contacted Alderman Joe Moore's office about the vandalized newspaper boxes in Rogers Park several times for a solution, but he has not acknowledged the issue.

Since the Alderman's office was of no assistance at all, I will be contacting Mayor Daley's Graffiti Blasters and the Chicago Tribune's Red Eye, to remove the graffiti from their boxes.

UPDATE:

A letter to the editor stated in part "The problem is that these kids are bored and lacking in positive male role models. Give these guys something to do by challenging them to put up real art instead of the kind of junk you see under overpasses". source: Reader Feedback July 23, 2007
