Media meet at Flecks Coffee!

Following a media event with Rahm Emnauel, two of Chicago's famed political reporters had lunch at Flecks Coffee, 343 E. 79th Street.

The meeting was in regards to small businesses. Mary Ann Ahern of NBC 5 Chicago and Charles Thomas of ABC 7 Chicago were struck by the comments of Flecks Coffee co-owner Zuli Turner and decided to make a visit.

I (JP Paulus) was there for a meal, and did not expect the visit. I was just there to work on a project and enjoy a meal, but had a whole lot more.

Both Ms. Ahern and Mr. Thomas were very approachable. They also enjoyed their food.

We appreciate their business and presence in our neighborhood.

Look for Charles Thomas' report at 4:30 pm this afternoon on ABC 7 Chicago (channel 7 broadcast). You can also find it later at www.abc7chicago.com .

Look for Ms. Ahern's report at this afternoon on NBC 5 Chicago (channel 5 broadcast). It should also broadcast during the 4:30 show, to which Ms. Ahern regularly contributes.
