Plans for redeveloping Von Humboldt Elementary School as a housing complex have run into a snag - just as it's up for a vote by the Chicago Plan Commission. Development plans for the school, vacant since 2013, were proposed in 2016, and while it has undergone changes in the planning stage, it's facing community opposition.

The upcoming holiday season calls for parties, at work or home, and thoughts turn to
what food to serve. NWCC Member restaurants and eateries can provide the space, the food, or both for
a festive celebration. From sliders to pizza to more creative fare - whatever the event calls for or how impromptu the planning.
