[note: this is a personal blog entry and not the opinion or position of the Central Street Neighbors Association, which has made no endorsements].
Unlike one recent election where not enough candidates even filed to fill the slots, this year's District 202 [ETHS] school board matchup is the marquee attraction in Evanston, with eight contenders for four seats. This largely reflects the ongoing dustup over changes made and proposed to the school's storied Honors program, but there's more at stake than that.

A ZBA hearing for the proposed Chase at Crawford and Gross Point is expected to be announced later this month or in April.
The latest plan presented to the City requested a major zoning variance for the setback on Gross Point Road, a special use permit for a drive-through, and approval for use of the adjacent residential property as the bank driveway and parking lot.
We will update you with news as we learn more.

Evanston Fire & Life Safety Services will be hosting an open house to show off our new "green" engine. The open house will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 23, 2013.
Everyone is invited to join Fire Chief Klaiber and me to get a first-hand look at Engine 25 which will be responding to calls from Fire Station 5 at 2830 Central Street. Station 5 was the first LEED certified fire station in Illinois, so it is an appropriate home for the City’s first “green” engine.

Dear gracious patrons of Rose's Bakery:
Since the announcement that the bakery may close, we have received an overwhelming response from you. You have expressed your sadness and appreciation. You have shared your stories of what this bakery means to your family, and while doing so, you have lifted our spirits. We are making every possible effort to be here for you and your family. Now with just a few days to go, we're pulling out all the stops. It's time for a Hail Mary. Don't curse the darkness, help light a candle.
We need your help.
WE ARE AIMING TO RAISE $104,000 BY NEXT WEEK, DEC 24th 2012.
Every donation counts. If we collectively meet our goal, we will stay open.
*If we do not raise $104,000, your money will be refunded. The absence of the bakery would be felt by many.
* Your donations will go towards the mortgage and necessary operating expenses.
