I didn't get one of these letter's from the Alderman when I moved in. Did you? Maybe it got lost in the mail? Maybe if I had gotten one of these welcome letter's, we would have gotten off on a better foot?
Instead, when I first moved in, I called his office to deal with an unpleasant over-flowing dumpster problem. A problem from the Block building. I got squat... for months. Let me take that back. I got rotting food and rats at my door step for months courtesy of Mr. Block and Alderman Moore.
Back to this election year, politicking letter, because I know it's hard to read. Like I said, I've never seen such a thing before. Have you?
* The letter wants the new resident of Rogers Park how friendly his staff is. The letter wants the new residents to know how happy he is. The letter goes on to say he's their to assist the new resident with any city services the new resident may need. The only thing missing from the letter is a picture of Alderman Moore doing a back flip.
* The letter also invites new residents a chance to have brunch with the Alderman, the Commander and the ward supervisor. The event is this Saturday, May 6th at Gateway. Are you kidding me, the Alderman is holding a new neighbors brunch, starting at 10:30am. It doesn't mention if Foie Gras will be served.
Any guesses who going to flip for the bill? I'm guessing the friends of Joe Moore will be flipping for the bill. Unless Alderman Moore has a Secret Welcome Wagon Tax stashed away somewhere.
Back to the letter. Doesn't it somehow feel like Alderman Moore only cares about you when it's an election year? This "Dear Neighbor" letter sure looks like it.
For those who didn't get this letter and just moved in the ward, say in the last three years, I think they should have just an equal chance at meeting the Alderman and having brunch at the Gateway Bar on Saturday morning too. Don't you?
Did I mention the Gateway is at 7543 North Clark and the brunch starts at 10:30 am. I think I might stop by myself to make up for the new brunch he never served me when I moved in.

Instead of munching on some Purina Yuppie Chow (which is what I would imagine be the entree at a Moore brunch), it would be far more productive to organize protesters to inform the naive and gullible coming to the event who know not the truth about the Alderman what Joe Moore is really like!

Drew,
I have also lived here for two years. I have contacted the aldermans office on two occasions. Both times I recieved an email back within a day or two. I also recieved messages on my answering machine after the issues were resolved, asking if we were satisfied.
I however, did not recieve any invite to brunch.
I moved in about 6 weeks ago, and I got that letter. Interesting perspectives on just how responsive his office is.
