Mouse Spotted in North Evanston

Submitted by jeffpsmith on Wed, 08/06/2008 - 18:49

In our continuing popular series on local wildlife, we offer this image of a wild mouse recently photographed in a front yard in the Central Street neighborhood. I believe this to be a white-footed mouse, a species originally from the woodlands, but which then moved into the former prairies of Illinois.

Central Street Businesses on Council Agenda

Submitted by jeffpsmith on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 10:42

The parking lot at the Baha'i office building, 1233 Central, is the first item on the agenda at tonight's City Council Planning & Development Committee meeting, 7 pm in the Council chambers. The Council will be considering the Zoning Board of Appeals's denial of the group's request to amend the 1963 Special Use conditions (which require, among other things, a 27' setback and landscape screening). Item P5 is Great Harvest's request for a sidewalk cafe permit. The 7-11 is not on either the P&D or Council agenda.
