Last night, half the block went dark. Again.
It wasn’t just a power outage—it was a reminder of how neglected parts of Rogers Park have become. Streetlights stay broken for weeks. Potholes go unrepaired. Simple requests—lighting, safety, clean streets—are met with silence from Alderman Joe Moore’s office.
Basic services shouldn’t be a luxury. Our neighborhood deserves the same care and attention given to others across Chicago. We pay our taxes. We show up to meetings. But we keep getting ignored.
I’ll keep documenting the issues. I’ll keep showing up. And I’ll keep working with neighbors who refuse to accept neglect as normal.
Because Rogers Park deserves better.
