A Message from Alderman Silverstein

“The 50th Ward is the most diverse and wonderful neighborhood in the City of Chicago. There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the Chicago area. Heavy snow is expected on Wednesday, with possible accumulation of 6 or more inches. Travel could be very difficult, especially during the Wednesday evening commute. Please help with the snow removal process by not parking in snow routes. If you live on a main street, check for posted signs and avoid parking when it snows, so critical routes can be fully plowed and salted. ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE: Upon further investigation, Area Three Detectives determined this incident to be unfounded.

The police are warning of a child luring incident that occurred yesterday in our area. The victim was approached a by an unknown male in a white van who attempted to lure the minor into the van. When the victim refused, the suspect exited the vehicle and began pursuing the victim on foot. Fortunately, the victim escaped and was not harmed.

Please remind your children not to talk to strangers, and never to get into another person’s car. If confronted by the suspect, immediately call 9-1-1 and provide a detailed description of any suspicious people, including a vehicle description and license plate information.
