An Evanstonian wants something done about this news-stand "thing" on the Chicago side of the street. Maybe this could be discussed between Chicagoans and Evanstonians? |
Two villages and one community, not two villages with their backs turned toward each other. One of the few remaining news-stands in Chicago is not a "thing". It could be spruced and put into use instead of demolishing it. Its actually a very quaint reminder of our past. The other news-stands that comes to mind are at 31st and Halsted in Bridgeport and the one on Northwest Highway in Edison Park. This particular news-stand has been sitting unused for sometime.
Edit 2/11/13 - Apparently this is a hazard to pedestrians which is not a good thing. The above photo is merely an edited version of a Google maps image. This article when written was meant to provoke a discussion and not to promote hostility. Hard to tell tone on the internet.

She is the alderman of the 8th ward of Evanston.
Why is this not being discussed on a site that Evanstonians and Chicagoans frequent? Is this a secret?
Where is this "thing" located? I love Starbucks but don't recognize the corner. P.S. I love your blog, just found it.

This is located at Howard and Western. Not in Rogers Park proper but located in Chevanston for sure and its in West Ridge. Looks like the locals in Evanston feel its dangerous due to visibility concerns. More pictures will follow since it looks like this news-stand is a goner.
