Puerto Rican Festival, Day #3

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. I realize it's been a little while since I've blogged. Got busy with some other things, unfortunately. While I still have some of that stuff to do, I've also decided to blog today as well. Now, I know by the title that some will get a little upset or angry with me, but I feel that it is important to monitor this festival, among others. I will try my very best to monitor other large events throughout the year that have relevance to our community or our city. I will be monitoring the 14th District today. Usually, with this District, I cover from Belmont to North Ave., Central Park to the Chicago River. However, I will extend those boundaries today a bit. I will also be covering from North Ave to Chicago in between Kedzie and Western, as well as between North Ave and Division from Central Park and Kedzie. This extended coverage will be for today only, and includes a small portion of the 12th District. This will include Beats 1211, 1212 (a very, very small portion), 1422, and 1423. Of course, along with this coverage, I also will be covering the rest of 14 north of North as well, as part of regular coverage. Please leave any questions or concerns in the comments, or by emailing me at avondalelscrimeblotter@gmail.com. Thank you, and please enjoy the coverage.
