Tonight: Elmhurst 3rd Ward Townhall Meeting

Posted by on
Tonight at the Elmhurst Public Library, our two Alderman - Dannee Polomsky and Michael Bram are hosting their first (of what they say will be a series) of joint Townhall meetings.  They're taking this pretty seriously and even walked flyers around door-to-door to drum up attendees.  That's the flyer (above) that was on our front door this morning.  Good idea.

Alderman Bram has hosted one of these before, but with the recent election of Alderman Polomsky (yeah!), they're teamed up together.  That partnership is a great thing for our Ward - and they both have different tools they bring to us residents and will complement each other.

Polomsky aims to be the 'Great Communicator' and will make sure every resident feels more plugged into their local government than ever before.  She's perfectly suited for this role and has made communication the hallmark of her term.  With City government being the "closest" form of government to us residents, the communication plan Polomsky is undertaking promises to have a HUGE impact on our quality of life and level of understanding in government.

Bram, who is up for election in just two short years, is a budget hawk and is meticulous with the details of City government who makes sure every decision made - no matter how small - is the right one for the city.   He does his homework and speaks up for the 3rd Ward even when it may not be the most popular decision in the City Council chambers. 

Together, they're going to be a great team for the 3rd Ward.   I am looking forward to hearing more from both of our Alderman - and I'm planning on attending tonight. 

The information for the townhall tonight is:

DATE: Wednesday, June 8th
TIME: 7:00 - 9:00 PM
PLACE: Elmhurst Public Library (meeting room, first floor)

Tonight's meeting has no formal agenda, but rather will be open to a discussion of various topics that are going on within the City of Elmhurst as well as issues that  are specific and have impact on the Third Ward.

If you aren't sure if you live in the 3rd Ward in Elmhurst, check out this map below.  I made it using the "my map" feature on Google Maps.

If you can't make it, but want to stay in touch, you should email the Aldermen and have them add your contact to their list.  The note they sent out said "Our Third Ward e-newsletters/bulletins will be sent from this email address: ThirdWardNews@gmail.com ".

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage

Walnut vs Tree of Heaven vs. Sumac Backyard Identification - June 2020

Posted by on

That's a look *up* from the ground through a young, skinny tree limb as well as a larger, more mature (and confirmed) Black Walnut tree.  The leaves, from a distance look similar.  Back last year, I mentioned that I wanted to try to identify if a couple of young trees were worth keeping or if I should remove them.  And, knowing that I wanted to hold myself accountable, I included it as #15 on my to-do list for the yard this year . After poking around on the web in various places , I think I've settled on this clear cut detail that I found on r/WhatIsThisPlant on Reddit :  Walnut tree leaves have no notches.  Tree of Heaven (an invasive tree), do.  From u/blacksheep998 : Ailanthus has a small notch at the base of it's leaflets. Black walnut leaflets, while slightly toothed, lacked that distinctive nub. So, that's first thing to check:  Does the little tree leaves have those 'thumbs' or notches?   *Looks closer*... Sure, enough.   Thumbs are pre
