Mile of Murals - MEANS

Craig does not like Al Goldber Either, an UPSTANDING member of the Rogers Park Community, and does not want to see the fucked up crappy cement el viaducts look better.
It also means that Craig is upset, because he was not invited to the painting party, and is crying because of it.
Craig, we all know you can't paint, so quit your bitchin you whiny homo!
Craig get your head out of your ass!


******** Original Post By Craig the Fuckhead ********************
* Mile of Murals

If Special Service Area Tax commissioner Al Goldberg had his way, he wouldn't stop at the Mile of Murals project - he'd keep doing murals with tax payer money for the "next ten or eleven years."

Goldberg just wants to keep spending and spending, with SSA tax payer money, as he says, "Murals Forever!" "Just keep on doing it!" That's Al Goldberg's main motto.

What became clear at last nights meeting, that's before I left when Rob Moriarty demanded talk about world issues, is this mural project is a Special Service Area Tax payer waste. DevCorp North has found yet another way to throw money down the drain. All the while acting like they care about the neighborhood. Which they don't.

According to Goldberg, he wants to "Set the bar high". He wants the "Community input". But, only 20 people showed up. Mostly it was the same ole players - making the same ole decisions.

Out of the 20 people in attendance, nine were either part of DevCorp North, part of the Chicago Public Arts Project or the Alderman's office. Some community. Just 11 souls representing all the community members of Rogers Park. That's it.

So, long story short, Goldberg wants to do a mural a year, block-by-block. Then go back and do it again. From what I gathered, he wants this mural to extend outside of the Special Service Area #24 boundaries too. As Goldberg said, "Murals Forever - just keep doin' it'.

Honey, do you need some crayons and some nice paper so that you feel part of the group? Maybe a cookie and some nice warm milk?

d00d-

Keep up the good work. I had the idea to start something like this last week to keep track of CG's bellyaching and what [in]significance he has in the RP 'hood.

I'm glad you are doing the heavy lifting for me.

Useless dreg.

craig's post about a mural depicting dog shit, etc, makes me really sad. i genuinely feel for them. honest. just to think that that is all someone sees in this hood, it is just sad.
the trouble is, i can see this negativity really fouling up the process. this constant trying to drag other people into their pain and fear is the opposite of how you build a community. or save yourself. his report on the meeting, where all he heard was the negative words that HE (and mannis & harrington) threw out there, but heard nothing of the other, positive things that were said, just really shows the sad framework that these guys are stuck in. if only they weren't sucking other people in.....

That post just gave me an interesting thought: maybe Craig and Mannis are clinically depressed? The way Craig acts seems slightly retarded, even. Perhaps dementia praecox?

I just don't know, but it isn't healthy.
