Thank You, DevCorp and Ald. Moore

Thanks to Alderman Moore and DevCorp for putting on the Clark Street Festival. While The Bench is often critical of both, credit goes where credit is due. As I wrote last year, DevCorp excels at putting on street festivals (this and the upcoming Glenwood Arts Fest in August). So, kudos to DevCorp for another Clark Street Festival, and to Alderman Moore's office for the support needed for such a great event. The following is from Alderman Moore via email blast: Join your neighbors and me for a day of food, fun and music at the 3rd Annual Celebrate Clark Street Festival, this Sunday, July 13th, from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. I am proud to co-sponsor this year's festival, which will take place on Clark Street, between Morse Avenue and Estes Avenue (6900 to 7100 North Clark). Admission is FREE! Area restaurants will be serving up food from around the world, and our local merchants will be selling their wares. There will be activities for kids and live music from two stages! My Satellite Service Office will be up and running taking city service requests at the festival, so stop by and say "hello" to my staff and me! Following....is a music schedule for the two main stages.
