@PatDThompson Do you have a copy of the heliport covenant in Bridgeport that you spoke of at the Forum? Would like to see it! :)

What even is in the covenent? This election is like a mystery novel...smh...
Don't Forget to Vote--What's Going to Happen Tonight?
Polls are open until 7PM tonight. Look up your polling place here .
Too bad election day came so soon, the Bridgeport International Club House built out of campaign mailers was almost finished. As was our paper trail to nowhere.
(One-sided) inside sources say " We've been polling. Thompson is gonna get 53% of the vote."
If money counts, Thompson is going to win. He's been getting stacked with bills in these last few weeks. I'd link to the election finance website but I think it costs $400,000 just to google it.
Not sure what will happen, but you can be sure the Bridgeport International will be hiding out somewhere on the North Side until Wednesday comes.
People will probably be drinking and hugging at Maria's.

Bobak's Closed on Archer--A Note From the King Sausageologist
H/T to Maureen Sullivan's Facebook for the Press Release
I once biked to Bobak's in a thunder storm and found a kingdom of Polish goods at devastatingly cheap prices. Knockwurts and brautwursts and premade Hunters Stew and pickles out of the barrel.
My polish friend asked me to pick up "Kabanosy" --- a special kind of sausage that transformed his voice into a low and majestic tone when he pronounced it--https://soundcloud.com/bport-intl/vasa-hilarious-voice---I played it back for the cashiers @Bobak's and they knew exactly what to give me.
RIP Bobak's---none of your speciality goods seem to be available online or in stores.

Women for Thompson Meet n' Greet Tonight & Kozlar Interview
Kelly Fitzpatrick, PDT's youthful social media manager asked me to spread the event below.
If you are undecided about the aldermanic election, it might be something that you would like to attend.
Kelly is a huge bada$$. She got her current position when she tried to sell a copying machine to the Thompson campaign office. Young women in politics is the best. So I post this for you, Kelly.
In the interest of fairness, I am also embedding a recent interview with John Kozlar.
The interviewer is pretty obviously into Kozlar going so far as to say "I have a guy for that" in reference to some improvement project they are talking about doing.
The only point of contention I have is------
Kozlar & Thompson, are you aware that there is a Bridgeport 3rd Fridays (http://bridgeportart.com/portfolio/3rd-fridays/) as well as a Pilsen 2nd Fridays?
Kozlar only mentions one is this interview, and Thompson didn't reference it in his speech about cultural development last night.
Branding 3rd Fridays is long overdue.

Who Was Behind this website?--Heliport
How come it was never "revealed" who was running this facebook page and website?
//www.stopthehalstedheliport.com/---defunct.
And why did this group collect names at the first St. Barbara's public meeting?
Why did no one ever contact me?
Just wondering.
