Seen at the local 60614 CostCo, the society notes a kitchen growing station, meant to provide herbs, lettuce, etc to Lincoln Park kitchens is now sitting in the back of the CostCo having wilted and passed on. The Society sends its best wishes and hopes that members who have purchased this item have better luck. Note: Menards across the street usually has a very vibrant rent-a-stand in its parking lot containing summer plantings.
Appearing to be lounging, a senior member's senior pup is basking in the sunlight that only a Lincoln Park address can provide.
Venturing west into Bucktown, Member Shannon O'Shannon notices that the bridge supporting either the expressway or the train is rather large in its concrete formations. This is likely attributed to having to hold the entire 606 trail on top of it. Shannon hopes the Bucktown / Wicker Park farmers' market will be worth the trip west.
As she heads west to the same Farmer's Market that Shannon O'Shannon is at, member Courtney Hallowell makes note of the former Stanley's Fruits and Vegetables location, just before the North Ave bridge and wonders why they shut down, and whether the people behind the "Lincoln Yards" project are legit or not. She is starting to think, perhaps, not.
Members noticed people sleeping outside near the Clybourn Corridor and asked how they could help. Member Erin O'Martinson is spearheading an effort to help house these folks, and welcomes any Member who wishes to help.
In keeping with the format of the Clybourn corridor for this week, member Trish Sonnenschein recognized the superb work that P.A.W.S puts into the neighborhood and recommends that all Trixies visit the Pippen Fasseas Adoption center over at 1997 N Clybourn, a legacy location originally launched by Paula Fasseas and her daughter Alexis, who serves as the Co-Founder and Executive Director. WOOF!
With some elite Lincoln Park housing behind it, the member (unnamed) driving down Clybourn takes note of a store called Nothing Bundt Cakes, located in the 1950 block. One wonders what the demand is for fancy cakes in the Village and ponders if this snappy-named business has an outpost in Highland Park.
