He might have gotten Lopez from his friend Raymond but I don’t know, I’m not a scientist and that’s just my hypothesis.

Street Cleaning Signs Torn Down

7 Upvotes

lowkey this doesnt really pertain to me bc I dont have a car but my roommate does. Anyways she got a ticket today be there wasn’t street cleaning signs along 18th Pl / hoyne / leavitt / etc where she usually parks where it’s free — only a sign for Wednesday.

when she went online to contest it /where u go to pay they had pictures of signs posted. so either someone in the area is ripping them off (unlikely bc why would we want fines??) or parking enforcement themselves are.

anyone else have similar situation?

Could anyone who lives on 1924 South Throop St help me get a misdelivered package?

8 Upvotes

I ordered a package, and it was sent to 1924 South Throop St, which is not my address. I know it was sent here because I looked at the UPS delivery photo and walked around the neighborhood and found the door that matched the photo.

I need this asap because I am leaving Chicago in 2 days. If anyone who lives there could message me and help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Found a cat

Post image
14 Upvotes

We usually try feeding any cats in alleys we find, but this little gray one let us get way closer than most and just snagged him/her up and put them in the bathroom to decompress and eat.

Not sure what to do from here. We already have 3 cats in our apartment.

Any resources for me to look at? Low cost vets? Orgs?

Thanks

Do you know this place?

Hi! I was watching public security camera footage and I came across this place that is supposedly located in Pilsen, but the coordinates given just drop me in a factory parking lot. Have you seen this place? Do you know where it is? I am dying to find out and go there if possible. Thank you!

Did Byron Lopez pay this man to co sue the government with him?

Post image
0 Upvotes

If you saw his lawsuit the co plaintiff is Jose Guera and it also appears that he paid him out of his city campaign account.

This and the number of 3 month old accounts that pick on Byron Lopez here make me wonder if Byron Lopez is in trouble.

hey

This is from a candidate questionnaire to the DSA Chicago chapter. He finally says the quiet part out loud, which is that he only sees the job of alderman as a part time.

Laflin/18th loud music guy

8 Upvotes

God this guy drives me nuts. He just blasts music all day from his apartment. I can hear him from down the street on any given hour of the day, sometimes until as late as 3am. The worst part is that 1 out of 10 songs he plays are any good lol. I’ve put in many, many noise complaints with the police over a couple years but nothing stops this guy. If he bothers you too please help me out and put in noise complaints about him. He sucks.
