East Rogers Park

missterymaker — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:21:13 GMT

Hi...

My boyfriend is staying with family for a few months on Chicago's Southside. I am visiting and we are renting an apartment in East Rogers Park, right next to the lake. He grew up in Chicago and has witnessed violence in the past(80's) and we would like to know about neighborhood safety, if anyone has insight. btw: we are racially mixed, citified folk. We are not scared...just want to be safe. Thanks!

I have also seen/heard that it's a fairly progressive area. Recommendations for food, etc?

making a difference

anna — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:15:21 GMT

ive been such a powerhouse today, i came back to chicago on july 29. i spent 2 days at my parents house helping my mom heal her leg and then i went back home to the city to pack, clean, organize, etc. and i found myself lost for what to do first. crazy shit. scattered. i also found myself realizing that i wasnt willing to spend the money i had saved through working at the house of blues for three and a half years on living, but only on traveling which became the source of my commitment to make money while im in chicago. but how? so this is august 1. so, i was taking a load to my parents house a few days later and i found so much artwork at their house in their basement that i freaked. i took it all home and photographed it. i want to tell you that since ive been in chicago, i have made (and not spent, i think i spent about $100 of the cash ive made, but i cant say with confidence the exact number) $1035 without having what we call a job! how cool is that?! by selling art on the street, selling art out of my backpack in buildings, getting bad debts paid back, selling furniture, collecting a paycheck from the house of blues, etc. and i feel awesome! also, i made a huge difference today in someones life. a deaf man came to me and asked me for $8.75 to get on the metra. i know this man from my old waitressing job at the house of blues cuz he used to come in and eat and sometimes one of us would get him free food and sometimes hed pay and sometimes id just talk to him, and so, i thought about giving him money. and then i doubted his truths and instead i pulled out $5 and asked him to get the rest from someone else. and he (he says that he talks to me cuz i understand him and no one else seems to. i kind of get sign language, but more importantly i get humans when they speak, no matter the language, right?!) so, he then told me he didnt want trouble with the law or trouble with people or to look like he was asking someone for money, cuz hes not that guy. so i got enrolled with him and went to a someone i know who works at the house of blues and she said no. then we went to the security guard and asked her if she had $3.75, she said no. so i asked if shed mind if we asked other people in the hob area, she said no. so we went to the first next person who introduced us to his friend whos name is Chris, who then said, $375???? and we laughed, and said, no, $3.75 and he said, "hell, ill do that for god" and pulled out a $20 and said "now you have extra money, use it to help someone else and know that i didnt do this, she didnt do this, jesus or god or whatever god you believe in did this!!!" and hell, that was an act of something powerful, whatever we call it....it was awesome! im left moved, touched, and inspired.

this is just what happened today! tomorrow is gonna be even bigger! i love big! shit! i love abundance! i love love! how did this day occur and the ones before it you ask. well, im inviting everyone to take a course at landmark education because it is what this day was given by. and furthermore, those of you who live in chicago, im inviting you to an introduction to landmark education. im taking the advanced course right now and it is changing my life. i wanna introduce you to the curriculum because i love you all and i know you will LOVE it and it will make a difference in your life! so. in introducing you to the stuff that is making a huge difference in my life, there are two intro sessions this week. one on tuesday, august 12, and one on wednesday, august 13. both are 7pm-10pm and tuesday is at their building and wednesday is at my house. ill be at both. so, im gonna give you the address for landmark and my address and all that, googlemaps does the most accurate directions out of all the mappers, or at least from the last time i checked. so, yeah...the food that will be at my place will prolly be pizza, unless anyone objects (do you object?). is there anything you dont eat on pizza or in general? since there will be food at my house and a specific number of chairs at landmark, it is imperative that i get confirmations by monday late night for tuesday and by tuesday late night for wednesday so that everything can be set up accordingly.

landmark education
820 north orleans (at orleans and institute in the left corner up the stairs)
chicago, il

my house
824 west superior street 307 (ring the buzzer and ill let you in)
chicago, il 60622

it will rock the house
parking is easy around that time, but in the case that its not and in the case that you wanna have some fun, get there early (like 630)

any questions, concerns, considerations, celebrations, or anything, call me or email me!

love
@

PS if you for some ungodly reason cant be there, tell your friends to be there. just confirm with me who will or will not be there.

and also, if you havent bought a painting from me yet, i am leaving town for good on wednesday night. (ill be in the burbs thurs and fri) and i encourage you to buy some art before i leave. prices are negotiable. ill make it work for you and youll make it work for me! there is lots of work to choose from, the general art file is http://www.flickr.com/photos/annakipervaser/collections/72157600010952708/ and the least expensive is body of work is http://www.flickr.com/photos/annakipervaser/sets/72157606592839241/with/2740585693/

My name is Darlin..really..lol... and I am traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area of California to Allen Park, Michigan. I am seeking refuge in Triber's homes along the way.

If you, or anyone you know might care to show a Nor Cal Triber some warmth and hospitality, please get in touch. If all goes as planned I should be in Chicago on November 9th.

I look forward to hearing from.. someone.
