LOGAN SQUARE
This is just too humorous not to share with everyone. Coming this Friday night at the Congress Theater is Nacho Libre and Mucho Burlesque aka L.A.'s Lucha VaVoom.
Offering a combination of masked Mexican wrestling (in Nacho Libre form), retro burlesque in between matches and humor from Blaine Capatch (of note Mind of Mencia and MadTV) this is sure to be one night of great entertainment.

GOLD COAST

EVANSTON
In a move to keep local residents more informed and aware of what's happening in the city council meetings, Evanston officials agreed to move their meetings and replays to live streaming over the Internet.
This would allow residents to not only watch over Web but also make comments. It also gives non-residents the opportunity to learn more before joining the community as well as provide access for those who are not able.
