I am a recent graduate of DePaul University raising the temperature of journalism in Chicago with wit and fury! I won't work for peanuts, but possibly cashews, or frequent flyer miles.
Student video reporters from Columbia College, Toni Grimes and Brandon Smith, recently weighed the issue of muggings around the LP with DePaul student area residents.
I am a student journalist at DePaul University and an enthusiastic blogger for Lincoln Park Now. I am interested in community journalism, new media, and volunteering. My number one passion? Writing, of course!
At the risk of presenting myself as a blogger who does all my research on Twitter, I'd like to share with Lincoln Park Now readers yet another interesting controversy I discovered as a result of a curious tweet.
A Twitter user with only 4 followers, @TrixieSociety tweeted yesterday morning about a free Starbucks gingerbread cinnamon latte giveaway for all "Trixies" or members of the Lincoln Park Trixie Society in the Lincoln Park area stores.
That's interesting, I thought, and obviously untrue. But what is the Lincoln Park Trixie Society?

Closing in on the last pre-Holiday weekend, you might be heading out to the Lincoln Park pubs. Braving the Miller Lite free double decker bus that begins Saturday just might have to happen. If you're looking to economize further, we've got some specials on hand. You be the judge.
(and for those of you not going to see New Moon tonight, but still looking for a hip screening):
Gaper's Block dropped the word on what's up at Facet's Cinemateque (1517 W. Fullerton Avenue) this evening: a $9 ticket can be purchased on Facet's website for the Pitchfork-sponsored premiere of All Tomorrow's Parties, a documentary musical film featuring musical acts:

Executive Director of the Better Government Association Andy Shaw opened the candidate's forum yesterday at DePaul with the suggestion that the Cook County Board President's race will be the "most important race on the ballot."
And Todd Stroger never showed.
Beside the empty seat marked for the incumbent Cook County President, 4th ward Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Terry O'Brien, and Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Dorothy Brown responded to Shaw's questions, some of his own and several audience submissions.
The 43rd Ward Democrats committeeman Michele Smith was elated by the opportunity to co-sponsor a debate so critical, and to call it a "Lincoln Park-centric" event.

We halt this search for the best place too see glistening pints overflow on Lincoln Avenue this weekend to give you the in on something we find positively fabulous, and not at all nerdy.
So, Lincoln Parkers, may we subtly suggest the possibility of spending your last 50 degree weather Sunday of 2009 steered toward DePaul University's Student Center (Belden at Sheffield) at 1 p.m. this Sunday, November 15?
The Better Government Association (BGA) and your own 43rd Ward Democrats have organized what promises to be a proper meeting of the minds amongst those vying for the democrat nomination for the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners seat in the 2010 primary on February 2.
While BGA President Andy Shaw moderates, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger will take on opponents 4th Ward Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Dorothy Brown, and President of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Terrence O'Brien.
In case you haven't heard, the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce has spoken out against
President Stroger's veto power....
