About Me
- The Woodlawn Wonder
- Urban pioneer and frustrated condo owner who wants to experience most of what Chicago has to offer. This is my tale of woe as my neighbors and I deal with the business of running a condo association that has been left in a shambles by our developer.

Write the alderman involved and advise readers and other bloggers to do the same. Help them out by posting links to the alderman's office.
It won't get built because Walmart is rabidly anti-union, and the unions still have some say in Chicago.
