They call it Pratt Pier, or Farwell Pier ... I've always referred to it as the Rogers Park lighthouse.

Although you can't see, unless you walk directly to the base ... there is an active discussion on removing the graffiti from the beautiful structure.

Events in Ward 49

I added the new Fresh Start Monday events to the Word 49 calendar:

Every first and third Monday of the month, join the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce in freshening Rogers Park up! Benefits local businesses through a cleaner and safer neighborhood with less litter, debris and contaminants on our sidewalks, streets and beaches. Think tourism. Neighborhood cleanup lasts one hour and snacks will be provided. Working together to Clean Up Rogers Park!

Also added eleven April 2012 events at The Lighthouse Tavern (7301 N. Sheridan Road Chicago, IL. 60626).

Check out the Events section for more details.
