I spotted members of the Near West Neighbors working on the railroad bank at Crystal and Chicago. They have transformed a once overgrown and neglected area into a view to enjoy. This has been a key project in the neighborhood for many years. In 1999, I worked removing debris and clearing brush with ROPE officer Rob Hartman. It was a Leadership Academy community service project. There is more to come for this site as the group has plans for other improvements. It's amazing what a difference a small group of dedicated individuals can make in a neighborhood.

The Crocker terra cotta facade will be saved. The marquee isn't included in the project. DNA is starting a group to preserve the marquee. If you are interested in helping please call DNA at (847)488-1456. We need to act this week.
