CPS Students Traveling To Memphis #MLK50 #HarlanFalcons

[VIDEO] I'm sorry I missed this from last month. A group of CPS students from three high schools including Harlan (Go Falcons) & Hirsch High Schools observed the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination paying a visit to Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Martin Luther King on April 3, 1968 died at the Lorraine Hotel which is now the National Civil Rights museum.

These students will also visit four historically Black colleges where according to Harlan Principal Ramona Outlaw:

“There’s a nurturing that goes on at those campuses that is indeed unmatched. The students, I want them to feel like they’ve come home and that place that they will call home for the next four years is something that they will be proud of.”

I sincerely hope these young people soak in the importance of that journey from last month.

List of #Ward09 town hall meetings

ward09.com

To be honest I like this rebranding - instead of community meetings town halls. Of course usually town halls involves representatives of not only the ward office - which certainly is comments by the 9th Ward superintendent - also other city agencies. Also during election season we may see presentations by candidates, especially those individuals running for judge as was the case at the last "town hall" meeting last year.

All the same here are the list for this year's town halls. Two down and now six more to go with one this month on April 24, 2018. And as always the place and the times with a phone number for the Alderman's office.

9th Ward Town Hall Meetings will take place at

Pullman Presbyterian Church
550 E. 103rd St.
From 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Call 9th Ward service office for more information at 773.785.1100

The new 95th street is coming along

Snapped this shot of the new south of 95th terminal  on Friday. And snapped other shots around the station Friday morning and evening. They took some of the fencing away and perhaps it won't be too long before this new station is open. Of course the original north of 95th station remains open and there is some construction there as well.

Here's a post from ig that includes the above pic and additional shots with some video.

#Ward09 News

Earlier this week I shared this portion of Ald. Anthony Beale's recent email sharing news for his Ward 9 constituents on The Sixth Ward's ig. This news is for the planned sports facility near 104th & Woodlawn or according to DNA Info 2016 article - 10355 S. Woodlawn Ave (I erroneously referred to the nearby address of 103rd & Doty). When you turn off 103rd street south onto Woodlawn you will go past the facility construction and will lead you to the Pullman Walmart.

All the same I saved this pictures and the portion of the email that talks about the coming sports facility and wanted to share this with you all on this blog. As always click on pic for larger resolution.

 I rarely check out his FB page there's a video of this site on Woodlawn up now. Let's check it out!

Here's the ig post shared at The Sixth Ward

A look at what $250K get you in Chicago right now

525 E. 112th Street, Pullman

An integral community to Chicago’s role in rail, heavy industry, and labor rights, the Pullman neighborhood has another unique designation as the city’s first and only National Monument. And for $250,000, you can purchase a historic row home (pictured above) that has been fully overhauled and updated for contemporary living. It’s worth noting that this property is currently the most expensive on the market in the neighborhood—still a fraction of the amount that wealthy rail enthusiasts are spending on restoring old Pullman Palace Cars for cross-country travel.

Not far away from Roseland and you can get a house for almost a quarter of a million dollars. Pullman is a great neighborhood anyway of great historic value and it's no wonder it's part of a national monument!
