I visited Memorial Park a week or so ago - well after the storm blew through. It was full of trash and debris - some that must have been there long before the storm. Hello jobs! Hire folks to clean it up - after all, it's probably the City's most recognizable park - a potential gem that the City chooses to treat like plastic costume jewelry.

Want to enhance  attendance at some of the most centrally located parks? Let some of those food trucks find an unobtrusive spot to park on the weekends.

Hard to see Jax's acreage advantage this way. I'm curious how much acreage Jax has if you don't count preserves (Chicago/Cook County doesn't, and it has 68,000 acres of forest preserve). Also, found what might be Drew Field: http://g.co/maps/j3ebq

That map of San Marco / 32207 is missing a bunch of parks.
