Last summer, Rogers Park attorney and former Joe Moore lackey wannabe Thomas J. Westgard went over the edge and just couldn't take it anymore.
He was upset about a puddle in Loyola Park, along Lake Michigan at W. Lunt Avenue.
Spade in hand, he marched solo to the park and (illegally) dug an ugly trench in the grass to drain the puddle. Westgard's hasty attempt at civil engineering failed miserably, as the photo taken this evening shows conclusively.
Will Mr. Westgard see this project through? Or will he be a guy who doesn't finish things, as has called former political rival Don Gordon. Will Mr. Westgard seek a permit from the Chicago Park District before vandalizing the park land? Will Mr. Westgard repair the ugly trench, which is a hazard to people walking on the grass?
