After more than a year Uptown sinkhole fixed.
Konkol at your service.
The same day I wrote about a local blogger — Uptownupdate.com — his contribution to the neighborhood and a pesky sink hole near the tennis courts at Clarendon Park ... crews finally filled in the hole.
The anonymous Uptown Updater sent me this note:
"I'm sure you will be happy to know that the sinkhole was fixed the very EVENING this story came out. Funny how that works, huh? You have to embarrass these clowns into fixing anything."

That was most definitely NOT a "sinkhole." Just a cave-in. Go to the Illinois State Geological Survey website and study Geobit 7.

Uptown solved one problem, but what about the irresponsible dog owners who don't pick up after thier dogs? A lot of business owners are complaining about it. I saw a child pick up dog poop by mistake. If your dog is your baby,wouldn't you pick up after your baby? Too many rats in Uptown , because of the dog poop. Bis rats at that, Uptown is a buffet for the rats.

One other thing about Uptown Mark, you asked when did The Riviera open? not what year, but when. The person who came within a week is correct. Not the general year! Your question not mine!
Konkol note: Last week's winner had the exact date in his posting.
