We don't have a dog, or any homework that the dog ate, but rest assured that our minds were not on the Pipeline this past week and we are going to email out a bare bones "just the facts" newsletter soon. Life was calling, asking us all sorts of existential questions. While packing up and/or giving away seven years of accumulation (yes, we are hoarders, ask us about Blue Cross Blue Shield plan

We wrote a story about Marina a year or so ago, and it's somewhere in our e-newsletter archives, though it would take longer to locate it than it would to post a few new pics and words about Marina, who lives in Humboldt Park with her family and has been cleaning Bucktown and Wicker Park homes and apartments for five years, since she decided she preferred housecleaning to babysitting.

There are over 40 display ads in the booklet, and many of them are extremely unique, which makes them fun. Gathered together, it almost does feel like a yearbook for our neighborhood written from the ground up, as in a near 7-year-footprint of wandering around. So I guess whatever happens with this booklet, I know that what I've enjoyed the most thus far is putting it together. From the

It makes me sad to neglect this blog, but the new virtual home is really cool. i am geeking out on it. i am also catsittng and thinking that the nice thing about watching a neighbor's cat when you live in an apartment building is that you can still wear your robe, and you do not have to worry about a neighbor seeing you in your ratty robe. and, it's nice to go on a vacation from your apartment.

Here is a link to the June 7 Pipeline. I will continue to try to blog here as well as on the new pipeline website's companion wordpress blog, chicagopipeline.wordpress.com which feels so empty and foreign to me right now.

How can you create a painting, without using paint? For artist Kendell Carter, the answer was shoelaces, which, when layered together, look like three dimensional paint strokes.

When James Buffington was eight years old, his parents took him to see the Smothers Brothers, where one of the comedians used a yo-yo in his act.

Or, Who else lives in this building?, which are never answered by their Realtor, because to do so would be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. In compliance with the FHA, all Realtors must provide equal professional service without regard to the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status,
