ALBANY PARK
Albany Park Community Center,
a United Way
agency member, has been in the community since 1975. Providing education and support of community
members, the APCC is planning its next Ten-Pin Extravanganza.
For a mere $30 you can bowl two games, have pizza dinner,
free shoe rental, and a chance to win prizes and raffles. There will be a silent auction after the shotgun
start.

event. Be sure to contact Kurt Lewis if

WEST
LOOP
In honor of Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago, a draft
of the Chicago
Central Area Action Plan has been posted to the website of Chicago's Zoning
and Land Use Planning Department.
The CCAAP boasts $15.5 billion in public works, mostly for
transportation. A Clinton Street transit hub would take
$6 billion of the proposed plan. The hub
would connect Metra and CTA rail and bus lines with a proposed Carroll Street rail
line.

LINCOLN SQUARE
Going green, organic, clean technology are the latest catch
phrases you've heard many times. And now
there are several
Chicago businesses offering to deliver organic foods to your home and
are especially cost conscious.
One such business is Cousin's Incredible Vitality. They offer a Live Food Box which includes three
servings of baby green salad with dressing, six entrees, six appetizers, soup
for two, and more.

NAPERVILLE
Located in a wonderful suburb like Naperville, you can find your own version of Pleasantville. Nestled between Forest Hill Drive and Ogden Avenue (near Aurora) is the Wildflower community.
Here you will find neighbors saying "hello" to one another from
their yards. Or you'll see one of the
neighborhood kids making chalk drawings while a mother is getting her stroller
ready for a walk.
