Could we have turned the corner? Is spring finally here?
The crocus are up along Seventh Street, purple and also white ones. The Magnolias are blooming and until the first wind they will look gorgeous. Temperatures are on the upswing …except for the cold and dreary 40s on Thursday. But spring is coming.
When I was a kid growing up in Chicago we had a week off from school in the spring. It was called Clean Up Week and the idea was for people to go out and clean up their property and get rid of litter winter kept hidden.
I think that would be a great idea for every community…have a clean up weekend and encourage people to pick up the trash and litter that stains our roadsides and empty lots.

It is strange to see Cooper Park without KidsGround. For over two decades that was a gathering place for families and youngsters.
