Okay, that was a little over the top, but you have to applaud a group of neighbors who have organized to save greenspace in the heart of our city. If anyone has visited this gem on the corner of 9th and Grange, it is a wonderful, uninterrupted space in a very historical and yet modest neighborhood.
Totally worth saving.
Besides the organizing skills of the group, I really appreciated this video of the groups member, Bob. How is it that a community advocacy group can do a video in the middle of a park in which you can hear every word he says but the city with millions invested in ‘media’ can’t hold a presser in a room specifically designed for the media without audio issues?
Maybe the Lincoln Park folks need to start a campaign to save the city’s media department to? Maybe they can borrow Bob’s bluetooth.

If this is a park it’s not identified on map software. One refers to it as Axtell Park. Others show it as green space.
This could become a tent city for migrants coming north from Mexico. It’ll take many more sites. Don’t it make a RED state BLUE?
What about an UFO landing site?…. Oh, I’m sorry, I meant an UAP landing site…. I forgot, UFOs don’t exist….
We already have Taupeville, so why not Hooverville, too? AND, they appear to be on opposite sides of the tracks. Although, the tracks are actually east of both and found in the growing and trendy East Bank, go figure.
( and Woodstock adds: “Hey, why not Hooterville with an orange and white theme?”….)
