Downtown Waukegan has the coolest people.  You'll hear more about some of them tomorrow morning at our Members Plus Gathering at Joplin's Java - like our awesome neighbors at F.I.S.T. who have been transforming our lakefront in partnership with Friends of Waukegan Beach.  I absolutely love walking around downtown in summertime when everybody's outside and they always says hi.  One of my friends remarked the other day that "post-industrial Waukegan has turned into urban Mayberry" and I couldn't agree more.  Come down to my block tonight to chill in Community Garden, for beer pong at Green Town Tavern, or tacos and Jarritos at Taqueria Guerrero, and then sneak a peak in the window of Dandelion Gallery's new space in Merchants Block Building!
