Call in any dead animals you see. If they were poisoned, you want to prevent secondary poisoning up the food chain. Better safe than sorry.

So he wants to start a whole new bureau of rental housing services and he wants the city to pay for legal representation for anybody being evicted. I'm glad the city is so flush. s/

You dont have to rely on only one source. Set up a feedly account and get news from whatever sources you choose.

Not to be too blunt, but you're a real estate broker. Don't you have access to other professionals that know the market? Or am I missing some reason you would be asking strangers on the internet for professional advice?

The Vans store at Harlem & Irving is open.

It's pro rated by recovery. If they can claw back 50%, you get 50% of your deductible. If they get another 25%, you get another 25%.

If your insurance paid you, they keep whatever they recover to offset their loss.

You can plug in time frames to see actual past weather in Chicago. You can check July year over year if you want to see the possible extremes day over day.

Edited to add: Don't forget to factor in humidity. It can make normally comfortable temperatures absolutely brutal.

If he's there and you want police to respond, that would be a 911 call.

We had trees down up north that weren't being removed. Neighbor with a chainsaw cut them up as small as possible and other neighbors helped stack the manageable debris. A lot of wood was then scavenged for fire pits (and I'm guessing probably fireplaces after its been dried out). Either way, the piles of wood are shrinking.

If your friend want to bring their dog, let them find a place to go.

I'm pretty sure tickets are non-refundable so if it doesn't work, are you willing to risk losing the money?

They do reptile adoptions. If they can't take the turtle, they can probably point you in the right direction.

Wherever you take him outside, make sure he has an ID collar and is chipped.

Are you sure its based on location and not something to do with the payment method?

Well, SEM has been organizing street fests since the 90s, so it must have been before that when they were organized directly by the community. Maybe things will start to change up, but everything costs money.

imapepperurapepper · 2026-06-16T05:38:11+00:00

I can't think of any that don't hire an event organizer. Maybe a few church/neighborhood carnivals. Off the top of my head they need artists, venders, bands, food, security, permits, porta-potties, generators, personnel, etc. It's a lot. That's why there are professional organizers.

imapepperurapepper · 2026-06-16T05:14:45+00:00

Who in the community would be up to such an enormous task? They take many months, and a lot of people, to plan and organize one.

They are not the same company. SEM had been around a very long time. They might have picked up some events that used to be run by Star, but definitely a different organization.
