Recently we've had ourselves a snow storm. This article shows not many are really happy with the city's response to the snow on some parts of Chicago's South Side. What do you think of the city's preparedness for the recent blizzard?
BTW, before Worlee jumps in it's noted that 6th ward Alderman Roderick Sawyer will be challenged in this month's election by Richard Wooten who was quoted in this article.

UPDATED: Fox Chicago News Friday - focusing on the 6th Ward
At least 2 stories on Friday night's Fox Chicago news featured our ward.
I just found one story with Tisha Lewis reporting at first from 73rd & Prairie - Levois
The most prominent was about the snow removal (or lack thereof), with a big map of our ward and examples, such as 73rd and Prairie.
They reported that Ald. Lyle received 200 complaints.
Scott Waguespack threw out an idea i was thinking about -- showing a map of who gets what done and when.
We're at a place technologically where we could easily create a color codeed map to show when streets wer ebeing served.
Darlene Hill then did a story on Army & Lou's. They noted that the catering business is still open, so there is certianly hope that the restaurant itself can come back.
We can post a link if available.

Snow photos/info from the 6th ward
From Aldermna Lyle's facebook page:
Here are some photos form our readers. We will update when possible.
From April Branch:
Main streets get cleared first, then side streets. Looking at some of the side streets a plow can't help you, we'll have to send high lifts and trucks to dig out the streets and dump the snow. But please understand some of our drivers haven't made it yet either.Please be safe -- and patient. A great way to pass the time -- catch up on old blog entries and COMMENT! Also let us know what you would like to see on this blog. We are also accepting submissions as well. E-mail us at blog+web@thesixthward.us
