the reign of Richard M Daley, so it was
installed in the eighties. Its still in great shape
EXCEPT for the wooden print (which is
atleast readable). The wooden print/
painting is faded but atleast it reminds
you that you are in Rogers Park.
I would often ponder on who
this mystery man was walking down
the street and where and when it was.
behind plastic. This would be VERY
cheap to replace and the new mayor
of our city RAHM could rededicate it
and put his potrait and signature on it.
I think a perfect time for this would be
sometime in the springtime after the
new Jarvis EL station is open and rededicated.

| The man walking on the closeup on the West Face of the Kiosk is indeed walking on Farwell Pier in the 1920s!!! No Lighthouse and there were benches. |

I didn't even know there is a Jarvis Square kiosk. Thank you for this information. Perhaps the Rogers Park Garden Group could make this kiosk's renovation one of their projects.
@ Allison,
I think its just a matter of the Aldermans Office working together with Perhaps the WR/RP Historical Society and really either Print up a new poster for the one side (it does unscrew) and make a new Wooden or Metal Poster for the other side. Everything else is intact. I will go by at night and make sure the Kiosk's Special Light is still working.

I called the aldermans office today and let them know my concerns about this Kiosk. Next I will make a call to the WR/RP Historical Society.
