Expanded "Miles of Murals" Project in Rogers Park

CHICAGO - An expanded "Miles of Murals" project in the Rogers Park neighborhood is underway. The project should have begun a year ago, but miscommunication between SSA#24, DevCorp North and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) caused a delay. "We're happy to announce that the old 'Mile of Murals' is now the 'Miles of Murals'," said a member of the SSA. She asked to remain anonymous. "The expanded project will involve the construction of miles of new walls, all of which will be covered by magnificent art." Additionally, the horrible day-glo mural on the Morse Avenue CTA overpass has been replaced with a more tasteful reproduction of an ancient Roman mural. "The ancient Romans were magnificent," commented the SSA member, "I don't care what Jesse Jackson says about Western Civilization. Good is good, no matter who did it. All that 'hey hey ho ho Western Civ has got to go' is bullcrap."
