Congratulations to Jesus House Chicago on celebrating 30 years!

They will host a celebration this Sunday afternoon at their church on Kedzie Avenue just north of Foster. In order to properly manage the expected traffic flow, Jesus House will:

• have 8-10 private security on-site for the entire duration of the event to manage on-site parking, direct the flow of traffic, manage crosswalks, and help prevent any road congestion in the area, and

• utilize the parking lots at North Park University (NPU) with shuttle busses
transporting individuals from the parking lots at NPU to Jesus House.

Please see additional details in the attached image and congratulate our neighbors on their anniversary!

Thanks to the many neighbors who played a part in shining a light on Northeastern Illinois University's failure to do *anything* with the properties they acquired via eminent domain a full decade ago. We insist that the University develop a plan NOW or sell to someone who will.

This year marks 10 years since Northeastern Illinois University acquired private property in North Park through the power of eminent domain. The University claimed it would alleviate neighborhood blight by redeveloping both sides of an entire block of Bryn Mawr Avenue. The effect has been quite the opposite.

Join us for a tongue-in-cheek 10th "birthday party" for eminent domain on Bryn Mawr on Wednesday, May 27, at 5:30 p.m. RSVP here to let your neighbors know you will help us pressure the University to make a plan --- now! --- or sell to someone who will: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4AACAB2CA0F4CF8-63768110-asomber
