On December 5th, they did a little party type of thing outside the house to celebrate. Walt started his magical journey (ie was born) on the 2nd floor of this home. That's just crazy to think about! Walt's parents actual bought the land, then designed and built the home from the ground up! Walt's family ended up moving to Missouri when he was 4 or 5 years old...but it all started with a man born in Chicago who would make a mouse! As a Disney enthusiast, I wanted to roll by and check the place out. They are currently in the process of restoring the home to it's 1901 state when Walt was born. However it was neglected for years! The current owners are Disney people and on board with the historical significance, planning to do great things!

I just love it! This home needs to be marked as an official Historical Landmark. Let's do this Chi City!

Hello everyone,…read more yesterday I called the social security office, and it was answered promptly to my surprise. A Mr. Shenowski (Not sure on spelling) was the person who I was blessed to have answered my call. The experience was painless and what a world of difference it makes when the person helping you is so knowable. Not sure if I butchered his name, but whatever you are paying him is probably not enough. The man enjoys his job, you could tell by his demeanor. I thank you and my family thanks you. Regards, Rafael.

Security guard was rude but I'm confident he handles his fair share of problems and rude people because it's all appointment only and protocols have changed. Still it's a pretty routine experience, security guard checks your name on the appointment list, tells you where to sit, they call next and you meet with the worker. Chairs are marked off due to the distancing requirements. There are green spot parking spots outside the office, no free parking here!

I immediately called 911 to let them know that the thieves were in Target still attempting to use my cards and asked that they send a police car ASAP. Kukielka and Negrete were in front of Target in under 5 minutes and went with me over to PetSmart where the Target Security Guard had followed the two thieves. They were able to find my ID and a credit card in their possessions and arrested them.

We've grown to love a weekend day at the library, and it's clear this branch is making investments to build its community.

On the inside it's very much the same as well. There is a very large space behind the check-out counter to set up your laptop and do some work. I visited on a Saturday, so there weren't too many patrons. Despite there not being very many people in the building, it was quite noisy. I can only imagine what it's like when it's more crowded. Seems like it might be hard to get a spot at a computer, but lots of space to work with your own laptop!
