GUESS.......?

Today we initiate a new 'feature' of the NHNA Blog...it's called "GUESS".  Periodically we will post a photograph of 'something, someplace or someone' and pose a question regarding the photo.  To be sure, the photo and the "GUESS" question can have a 'positive' or a 'negative' spin about a Rogers Park "something, someplace or someone".  Whichever it is, the answer will be found in the comment section of the post. 

Here is today's photograph and question:

GUESS..... how long this Howard Street sign has been hanging up side down?  It's located at the southeast corner of Howard just East of Clark.

A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.......

These photos were taken today, July 16th at 2:30 PM on the 7600 block of N. Paulina Street.  The residents and tax payers of the neighborhood would like to know why these conditions are allowed to exist, obviously ignored and of no apparent concern to whoever is responsible (Streets & Sanitation, 49th Ward Service office, The Rogers Park Business Alliance SSA and /or the property owners) to cut and maintain the 'sucker' growth at the base of the trees as well as the weeds growing in the city parkways?  It's quite a sight isn't it.

Allowing these conditions to to exist is a total disrespect and disregard to our neighborhood and it's residents and has a devastating and negative effect on our over all quality of life!
