NO one is watching the farm and are asking you to scan in who you are ID, etc. It is so bad you are not even sure the letters are from them. It's either internally or it's people going in your mailbox getting a hold of information. Get a locked mail box!! I know some people whose actual social security # was on the claim form; or some whose name was incorrect 'cause fraud person did not know their legal name. They even send you a debit card loaded. People are getting statements for funds sent to them they never filed a claim for and IRS thinking they are not claiming money. You have to file a fraud claim on line; get your employer notified to decline it and pray you are safe. Please go paperless on your bills to avoid people getting into your mail!!!

    Ravenswood, Lincoln Square

    Another brilliant summer afternoon spent people-watching, reading, sun-tanning, chilling, in…read moreGiddings Plaza, the heart of the Lincoln Square neighborhood, and realizing that this is definitely the best neighborhood in Chicago. Giddings Plaza is the center of the area. On a beautiful summer day like today, it is filled with parents and babies, children playing, people having lunch, and even someone like me, who uses a day off to enjoy the whole panorama. Lincoln Square has a diverse population that's best seen on Thursday evenings when the farmer's market is operating, and the free concerts take place in the Plaza. It really feels like you're in a small, friendly town. The area has restaurants (many, many), an independent bookstore (BookCellar), a fantastic deli (Gene's Sausage Shop), independent and unique stores (Merz Apothecary, Eclectricity, Gallimaufry Gallery, and more), coffeeshops, a wine shop (Fine Wine Brokers), entertainment (Davis Theatre, Old Town School of Folk Music, free events sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce), a large park district (Welles Park), a big public library (Sulzer Branch) -- just too many pluses to list here. The neighborhood features plenty of housing, without feeling like you're living in one of those high-rise caverns alongside Sheridan Road. There are apartments, condos and single family homes. And the neighborhood luckily escaped the worst of the housing boom - there are a few McMansions around here, those hulking monsters that fill up their lots with not enough land left to place a flower pot - but not nearly as many as in other neighborhoods or suburbs. It still maintains the old Chicago 'hood character. The one thing that may develop into a problem is parking. Thursday night is already challenging in the area, since the Market fills a parking lot. Now that Lincoln Square Athletic Club has opened, there will be a lot more people coming into the area with their cars. On the nights when Old Town School has a big concert, parking is already an issue. Old Town School is expanding into a much larger, new building across the street from its current location, and you can be sure that will add stress to the parking issues. But for me, I love it. Nights on our block are quiet and peaceful. But when we want action, summer or winter, we can find whatever we want in Lincoln Square.

It's far enough north from much of the city congestion, has a true neighborhood feel amongst an urban surrounding, and still manages to maintain a good amount of it's German culture. It's truly "A village in a city." Several German businesses are still alive and booming with pride: Chicago Brahaus, Merz Apothecary, Lutz Continental Café, Huttenbar, the Chicago branches of DANK HAUS (The German American Cultural Center) and the Niedersachsen German Club, to name a few. The Chamber of Commerce does a lovely job in making sure the neighborhood maintain's this "life" with many festivals and events like the SpringRavenswood Run, May Fest, Fold & Roots Festival, Apple Fest, German Fest, and the Christkindl Market. I love exploring the neighborhood whether it is sitting in a lovely cafe reading a book, strolling past the many shops or watching the kids play by the fountain Square.

    This little library branch is hidden on Melrose just off of Lincoln. I never realized it was here…read moreeven though I only live about ten minutes away and have driven along Lincoln and Belmont within a block a million times. When combing the CPL's events calendar for baby and children's programs to which I could take my daughter, I found they have a story and play event for children under two years of age. Just the sort of thing I was looking for since much of the programming is either geared toward older children or has such a wide range (for instance, zero to five or zero to 13) that I'm not sure it's really geared toward children as young as mine currently is (six weeks when we visited the first time). It's not a large branch by any stretch of the imagination, but my viewpoint may be a bit skewed since the Sulzer Regional Library is my "home" library and it's quite large. The Lincoln-Belmont branch has a multipurpose room and what seems to me to be a relatively large children's area (it takes up about a third of the library). They have some tables and chairs for patrons throughout the library, and a few "pods" (for lack of a better term) that are individual semi-enclosed spaces for working or what have you. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a larger than typical children's section for the size because they also have stroller parking near the restrooms at the front. It makes sense to some extent, since it's not a huge place and getting a couple strollers around would clog up the place. With the children's events taking place largely in the multipurpose room, they aren't in the way of other patrons. I am surprised that it works so well since I'd be a little concerned about someone stealing my stroller. My little one registered as completing her first reading challenge here since I've been reading to her just about nightly since birth. I felt a little out of place at the first baby program we attended, but not as much at the second. There were about 20 other moms and babies at the first and three at the second and it was nice to have the larger and more intimate groups. I'm going to give it one more try by attending the next one to see how I feel. The librarian had a variety of activities for the little ones but it was geared more towards walkers (most of the branches are the same). There's parking at this branch in a private lot for the library, as well as a few spots on Melrose Avenue in front of the library building, so it will be easy to get here again.

    I am so happy that I signed up for a library card. It is so easy to get my books put on hold. The…read moreaverage time I have had to wait for a book I put on hold is no more than 2 weeks. The people working here are very kind and always a great help. This specific location has some great events that are mostly kid focused. As mentioned in the other reviews, the library itself isn't super quiet when there are kid events going on, but if you have younger children, there are some fantastic events for kids of all ages.
