Alderman Sawyer has been featured a lot in the media lately. Yesterday, we talked about the NBC 5 Chicago profile of him. Now the magazine "Time Out Chicago" has featured our alderman, choosing to focus on the more personal side of him: his life as a DJ / Nightclub owner (pre-attorney days).In ’86, Sawyer and a friend opened a nightclub called S’s on 71st Street just east of King Drive, where the pair hosted a popular party called Funk Fest.
but that
After he graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1990 and passed the bar exam, deejaying took a backseat to his legal practice. Sawyer and his business partner shuttered S’s in ’93. But the rookie alderman still blows off the dust from his Technics SL-1200 turntables to spin parties he hosts with his wife, Cheryll.
A couple of questions:
- Is the building that housed "S's" still operational (and if so, with what)?
- And we will see Ald. Sawyer guest DJ and some of next summer's neighborhood festivals?
And one "concern": wouldn't it have been better for our neighborhood if Ald. Sawyer was featured at Fletcher Records, here in our neighborhood (on 75th street)?
