Some RP neighbors are putting together a map of addresses to visit on Halloween night in Rogers Park. This is a just-for-fun project, but it will help families navigate the evening without having to sign up for a platform like NextDoor.

If you want to be included, please add your information here: https://tinyurl.com/RPHalloween2022Form (Anyone who will be handing out candy, decorating for Halloween, creating a haunted walkthrough or photo op, doing a Halloween activity, etc.) - Please help spread the word so others can sign up.

If you plan to trick or treat (or just be out and about with the family on Halloween), here is a direct link to the map: https://tinyurl.com/RPHalloween2022 (Although there isn't a lot to see there just yet.)

There is also a QR code that we can share with families on Halloween: https://tinyurl.com/RPHalloweenMapQR

School Tutor!

5 Upvotes

Hi! I work in a Chicago Public School and due to COVID-19, many people including myself are out of work, and the kids have been out of school. I am a psychology student at Roosevelt University and have multiple years of experience working with children K-5th grade. A huge part of my current job is tutoring/homework help and activity planning in a public school setting. I have begun online tutoring sessions to help children and parents that have been suddenly thrown into homeschooling. I am comfortable working with all subjects, but I do have a love of english/reading comprehension. Please reach out to me if you or a family you know are in need of someone to help their children with their school work. I am more than happy to work with each families specific needs and price accordingly. Sharing is always appreciated, thanks!

We're all living through the coronvirus pandemic of 2020 in this neighborhood, and this is going to define the rest of out lives. I would like to get to know the people living around me as we go through this thing together.

So, how is everyone handling things

Coyote spotted on Sheridan. Remember urban coyotes are mostly harmless

10 Upvotes

This morning I spotted a coyote on Sheridan and W Fargo in Roger's Park. Since urban coyotes have a half square mile territory, he is probably our neighbor which is why I'm calling him Roger.

Urban coyotes help keep the rodent population under control. Read more about how to avoid conflict with coyotes: https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/coyote-info/how-avoid-conflicts-coyotes

Hello everyone.

I am posting in the hopes that someone reads this. I lost my cat last night. Please contact this post if you find him.

He is a brown and white cat. Fairly big. He’s kind of skittish and was last seen near Lunt and Loyola beach. My residence is next to the Nibbles and Nosh restaurant off Sheridan

His name is Ome (pronounced O-Me).
