| Description | Maintaining and improving a neighborhood. It doesn't happen with press conferences, or vigils, or endless marches, or painting every police officer as Simon Legree, or publicity stunts like locking arms in front of Mag Mile department stores on Black Friday. It happens because of people like Beverly Allison, who collects the business cards of city workers and city officials (who are basically city workers) like some people collect designer sneakers. Except SHE uses them for good. And woe to the city worker with the gall to say, "it can't be done", since it would be done in a heartbeat in Lincoln or Grant or Millennium Parks. She'll call you out if you're not doing your job. But if you are, she'll sing your praises to the skies, both to your immediate boss, to the alderman and to the mayor. She's an object lesson how to get things done in the City of Chicago (or any city, for that matter). It's better than complaining and then not doing anything. Or waiting for George to do it. (Guess who George is waiting for.) Or running away to the suburbs, the land of milk and honey. Yeah, right. ;) She is currently undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. But as you'll hear in the video, that hasn't taken away any of her fire. So, what's YOUR excuse. |
