Not So Public Notice




At the bottom left corner of the Scabby the Rat photo posted yesterday is a public notice. This morning this writer took a picture of it. A man curious at my interest came outside and wanted to know who was taking pictures. "Just some guy on the street." In other words a member of the public taking a closer look at a public notice.

It appears that 6329 N California is being used as a makeshift construction office. The white piece of paper reads Deliveries for JBDY School 2754 W Rosement and Maytav construction Inc.

Please continue reading for more pictures and words

One Honda EU 1000 generator kept Scabby inflated. The patch on his back reads "Another Giant Balloon Creation By Big Sky Balloons & Searchlights, Inc 17320 Delia Ave. Plainfield, IL 60544 800-769-8000 6' (six foot) Rat Laborers Chicago District Council #0006012"





The following text is from a photo taken a few years ago when the fire alarm, street light and notice board were still intact. The synagogue has sat empty and deteriorated in the interim.

The Former Ner Tamid-Ezra Habonim Congregation

The synagogue was built at N. California and W. Rosemont avenues in 1938 as Congregation Ner Tamid. It merged during the 1980s with Congregation Ezra-Habonim.

On the California side of the building is a giant poster canvas that reads, "The David and Frieda Glenner Building. Building Generations JDBY-YTT Nurturing. Innovating. Inspiring."

Perusing the web finds a press release dated January 3, 2013 with the new West Ridge school rendering.
