Don Gordon Is Angry

And you should be, too. The yutz who "won" the 49th Ward Aldermanic runoff election nearly a year ago is not protecting our precious lakefront. The guy who lost to him, however, is doing everything he can to champion the cause and protect the 49th Ward. From: Donald Gordon Subject: North Shore School Demolition Update Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 On Monday morning, March 10th, I am going down to the Department of Planning to determine whether the demolition of the North Shore School can be stopped because the demolition appears to be in violation of the Lakefront Protection Ordinance. I'm seeking to intercede on behalf of many residents who would like to see the building preserved and put to better use than being yet another parking lot on our lakefront. My perspective on this is as much to insure that we not allow the Lakefront Protection Ordinance to be violated as it is to protect the property. Anyone wishing to join me, please email me at fit4life@the-gordon-family.net and I'll give you details on time and place. If you have a blog, web site or email list please post. Also, if you have the opportunity, don't forget about this coming Thursday evening at Loyola Park: Thursday, March 13: Park planning charrette (group meeting) for lakefront from Devon to Howard, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Loyola Park sponsored by Friends Of The Park.
