Rogers Park Can’t Wait for City Hall

While City Hall and Alderman Joe Moore drag their feet, Rogers Park suffers. Our calls for better services and support go unanswered, leaving residents frustrated and overlooked.

We need leaders who act now—not later. Our neighborhood deserves urgency and commitment.

Rogers Park Deserves Better from City Hall

Alderman Joe Moore and City Hall have failed to deliver for Rogers Park. Broken promises, ignored calls, and lack of action leave our community struggling.

We deserve leaders who listen, respond, and invest in our neighborhood. It’s time for change and accountability.

Saint Henry Catholic Cemetery

Saint Henry Catholic Cemetery is the only surviving churchyard (that is, a graveyard adjacent to and affiliated with a church) within the city of Chicago. Located in the West Ridge neighborhood on the far north side, the church, erected 1905, is a neo-Gothic structure, clad in brick with ornamentation of limestone and bronze. Originally serving the German Catholic community, as the population changed, it was given to a Croatian parish in the 1970s. Local legend has it that "Sailor Jack", the boy on the "Cracker Jack" box, is buried here, though various identities are given for him.
