Upcoming Events:  Pivot Arts Festival   

This Saturday, May 30, residents are invited to come and participate in Edgewater's first parade featuring large-scale puppets designed by Swift School. The Parade begins at 1 pm at Granville and Kenmore then proceeds up Kenmore to Loyola University's St. Ignatius Plaza, where there will be a full afternoon of entertainment, including a headline performance by Grammy-nominated rocker Justin Roberts. Take the kids to Lifeline Theatre's musical version of The Three Little Pigs at 11am before the parade or the hilarious sketch comedy show for all ages, Bri-Ko, immediately following at 4 pm at Loyola's Mundelein Center for the Arts, 1020 W. Sheridan Rd.

Note: Kenmore will be closed for the parade from 11 am to 2:30 pm Saturday and the festival will continue on Loyola University's plaza. Go to pivotarts.org/festival for details on the parade and festival, including ticket reservations. 

Running through June 7 at various locations in Edgewater and Uptown, The Pivot Arts Festival includes over 20 performances of theater, music, dance, spoken word, clowning and comedy in Edgewater and Uptown with programming for adults and children of all ages. The festival ends at 11 am on June 7 at Lickity Split Custard & Sweet Shop with a performance of Storytown Improv.  

Public Safety Update 
 
We have been informed that the subject of an overnight fatal shooting on the 4800 block of Kenmore was Shaquon Thomas, who lived at 6319 N. Lakewood.  Mr. Thomas was the intended target in the shooting on Devon last summer and hosted the party that was the subject of police action on Lakewood a couple of weeks ago.  That is all we know at this point.

And, a further update from the Alderman's Office is available here
 
Zoning Adjustment Approved

As you know, our ENN Block Club held a special meeting on Wednesday, May 20th to vote on the zoning adjustment request from the project developers for the 13W. Devon Ave. building project. This zoning adjustment would change the required distance from the alley border to the building border for both buildings from 30ft to 22ft.   The 13 members of our ENN Block Club in attendance voted to approve the zoning adjustment request.  A letter to that effect was sent to the Alderman's office.
