My week has been really busy, and I haven’t had much time to blog. But feel free to comment on whatever is on your mind in the meantime.
Also, don’t forget that tonight at Irving School there’s another public meeting on where District 150 should build their replacement school(s).
So I was walking my kid to school today, going through the Bradley Quad, and the Bradley students have put up a whole mess of cardboard houses. They slept overnight in them. All those tired students, where is a blow horn when you need one? ** evil grin ** So we walk along.
Is that a bong, a houka to be exact, I see outside in the fine morning air…. indeed it is. Ah the libertine lifestyle of the Bradley student. Nothing to see here officer, nothing at all, these are not the bongs you are looking for. ** jedi mind trick in play **
I hope the City will step up and help out the homeowners whose tree was ruined by the City-can’t be that much of a problem. Trees are bountiful in the Park district, an agreement could be worked out easily. The City was wrong in what they did, so let’s make it right. It’s not just the homeowner involved, the sight of the tree takes away from the entire neighborhood.
If you’re talking about the tree that was featured in the paper a few days ago, I’d say from the photo it looked like the tree covered the entire sidewalk all the way to the street. Maybe their communication could’ve been better, but it looked to me like it needed to be trimmed.
Granted it needed a trim, but not devastation; a little communicaation would have been the answer; get the folks a new tree and let’s get on with life.
Yesterday the Journal Star reported on Peoria’s 14th homicide. Today they decided it was their 15th and went on at the end to explain why two others couldn’t be counted, almost as if they were disappointed that they couldn’t be. Odd.
