I've lived in this neighborhood for almost 7 years and I love it! But I've never ever had the desire or need to shop at any of the dollar stores around here. But obviously these stores must make money, otherwise there wouldn't be so many. Dollar stores, currency exchanges (another more than dubious type of business) and liquor stores are 'ghetto infrastructure', nothing else.
When I look at pictures of this particular Dollar Store I get sad...I remember when it was K-Mars, a coffee shop where the kids hung out and had fries and a coke after school...those were the days :(

This post made me think about my shopping habits. I don't shop Morse Ave or Howard Street at all. I do go to Devon Market, Clark Devon Hardware, RP Fruit Market, Clark/Rogers Florist. All else is done in the suburbs. I don't go to our Walgreens because panhandling is allowed there. How sad is that? Ald. Moore - I don't go to "save a few bucks", I go to the suburbs because Rogers Park stores have so little to offer. Wishing or "visioning" a better store mix is like wishing for a cookie tree when you were a kid. It doesn't happen that way.
so i don't understand. this goes on in front of their store on the sidewalk, etc., but how does that implicate this business in dealing drugs or allowing it to happen? did you ask the owner about it?
just because something happens in front of a business on a public street does not mean that the business is guilty of dealing drugs...
maybe i'm missing something. please tell me i'm wrong and provide more information.
Yes, you are missing the point. The point is to identify a problem on Morse Avenue (of which there are many to choose from) and string together loose connections (it doesn’t really matter how) to point the finger at one of the chosen bogeymen who are responsible for it—Devorp North, Alderman Moore, other public officials, the police, etc.
This permits the webmaster, aka Craig, to select his targets based upon these loose affiliations and then have his malcontent boosters jump in to support him. Ex. A photo of a liquor bottle on the street is linked to local liquor stores. Hugh jumps in with liquor store property management company’s donation to the alderman (it helps to impress with footnoted references—very impressive). Hence, it’s the alderman’s fault that there’s a liquor bottle on the street and the police are protecting the liquor store. See how easy it is? Six degrees of separation. It’ll work with just about any old problem.
Here's the part where I get criticized for being an apologist of the establishment, or "the man" or DevCorp, etc.
Not that I'm agreeing with any side, but this old problem still is happening.

And you are? Hi, I'm Toni, the NOH animal who held picnics in Gale Park after the May 04 shootings. Didn't see DevCorp man or wo/men donate, show up, or give a fig. The invitation was open to RP. Malcontents? Perhaps. But digging at the truth is relatively simple if you try. 2+2=4 More truth develops on this blog than at most CAPS meetings. More ideas are stormed on blogs and forums than in same meetings. Why is that? Guess some of us have tired of broken promises and $ stores.

What a load of shit, DevCorp calls people living north of howard, animals. That is as insulting as I have ever heard. JoAnne Barnhardt should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can her racist ass.

Regarding the 'animals" comment, this was obviously a misquote or taken out of context to serve the poster's purpose. Wouldn't be the first time that was done.
Regarding the NOH picnic, did Alderman Moore join / support you on that?
Hello Anon,
'Animals taken out of context' not the first time? Did anyone else read the quote?
Ald Moore came to one, Dave Fagus joined...look up my posted thanks for their support on forum49.org. They are politicians not DevCorp or you. So who is re-arranging facts to prove a point? BTW, the Howard station roof still leaks. T
Hey Toni, regarding the May 4 event that DevCorp missed... did you happen to ask them why? Isn't it possible they were busy with something else? Maybe at some other meeting or other? I recall getting some emails from them last year that they were sponsoring walks NOH with other neigh. orgs. So I'm thinking you are being very unfair to totally diss them for missing one event on May 4.

Regarding the whole "animals" comment allegedly made by Joanna from DevCorp... this was on another page on this blog:
"The top of Howard is kind of animal because it borders Evanston,” said Joanna Barnhart, commercial district strategic planner at DevCorp, the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce. “It’s hard to get much done there.”
I don't know who put it there or where it came from. But I think they mistyped, and what Joanna was saying is that "the top of Howard is a *DIFFERENT* kind of animal..."
Which it certainly is, with its diverse population, both ethnically and economically. So what's so awful about that quote?
Just because someone posts something on this blog doesn't make it true. Show some common sense guys. Why would she call NOH an "animal." Gimme a break.
Michael C:
"Hey Toni, regarding the May 4 event that DevCorp missed..." The double shooting was in May, we started picnics in June. They were ALL on Saturday nights,
1. so work would not be a conflict
2. weekends are heavier trafficking times
3. the purpose was dual: meet neighbors and
positive loitering.
4. I think the first 'invite' is still on forum49.org.

This is WAY BETTER than cable!
Let Ms. Barnhardt speak for herself. DevCorp North reads this site, I know for a fact! They can lie all they want, that they don't, I know differently.
Comments made "ONLY" here were told to me by DevCorp workers.
You too Ms. Bares from DevCorp North, come clean.
Does DeCorp North own part of Gateway Shopping Mall?
Did you make money failing to introduce a SSA project to Roscoe Village?
Are you a lobbist?
Come out of the closet guys, and sign up.
>just because something happens in front of a business on a public street does not mean that the business is guilty of dealing drugs...
There you go again. No one said any business was guilty of selling drugs. But they ARE guilty of tolerating it. We all are. We have all allowed this to happen to our neighborhood.
One drug deal on your stoop, you're a victim. But EVERY DAMN DAY????
If you allowed drug dealers to camp out on your front lawn don't you think you would hear it from your neighbors?

$5,000.00 Tavoularis to Moore. That's ZERO degrees of separation. Where'd you get the six?
Alderman Moore,
Next time you're working your route on Morse picking up your envelopes, could you please speak to the merchants about shewing the gang bangers off their stoops once in while?
Thank you.

Chris, thanks for posting your thoughts and feelings. It is very sad.
Some of us are trying to restore Morse Ave. if not to its former glory at least to a new civilized life. Looks like we're up against
* some rough types with handguns who don't mind using them, on each other or a cop, some nasty realtor-landlords,
* an Alderman who views Morse primarily as his personal stable of campaign contributors,
* apologists who view every issue or idea or suggestion or fact only in terms of how it reflects on their guy,
* pigs at the public trough who think our neighborhood is their Petri dish,
* "community groups" who are paid to tow the official policy of look the other way, and
* cops who would really prefer not to be there and are a lot more comfortable in the station or in their cars.
So we have our work cut out for us. But with support from lots of folks like yourself we will get there.
Please stay engaged with our neighborhood. Thanks again.
