Just a Heads Up, East Bluffers

Apparently, someone(s) went around the East Bluff Friday night around 9 PM and shot at/through/out at least a dozen car windows of cars parked in the street.  It appears most of the activity occurred between Wisconsin and Knoxville with a smattering around the Glen Oak Park/Springdale Cemetery area.

I don't know if this was reported via the mainstream media or not, nor if any arrests were made or residents made aware.  But in the meantime, heads up.

Feelin' Like The Redheaded Stepchild

So, the park district, city, rails to trails people put up this big, honkin' bridge to get the Kellar Branch of the Rock Island Trail over Knoxville Avenue.  Yet, in my neck of the woods, you have to dodge three lanes of traffic to get across Adams Street and I don't even get a traffic light.  Anyone else find it odd that they abandoned the old rail line WSW of Peoria Heights to run the trail through city streets and Springdale Cemetery (which isn't the purpose of a trail NOT to run on city streets) to avoid the old rail bridge across Route 150/War Memorial.  What, we North Valley/East Bluffers not good enough for bridges and traffic signals?  Meanwhile, the abandoned part of the aforementioned trail looks like hell and will be a weed infested jungle again this summer (if it ever gets here) which is something the city and R2T people whined like little kids not getting their way when Pioneer didn't maintain it to city/R2T people's standards.

Double & Triple Standards, favorites and a lot of back door politics going on IMHO.
