As of approximately 2:00 pm, Green Bay Road was closed from Simpson north to almost Central Street in response to what appeared to be a serious one-vehicle crash at McCormick Boulevard. A dark blue SUV-type vehicle appeared to have rammed head-on at some speed into the stone and cement embankment where McCormick terminates into Green Bay. Numerous City vehicles covered the scene and traffic was being diverted through side streets.

On a Labor Day weekend walk past Hota, which replaced Jacky's on Prairie (which replaced Jacky's Bistro), we saw that it was shuttered, which seemed off for a lovely holiday weekend. The explanation is that Hota, open less than 9 months, has closed, and its liquor license is being pulled per the agenda of the 9/24/2012 City Council meeting.

According to attendees at the Sept. 19 Library Board meeting, the board voted to take over operation of The Twig facility on Chicago Avenue, north of Main, that has been run by Evanston Public Library Friends volunteers since the closing of the South Branch in February, 2011. The plan, approved unanimously, is for existing staff and volunteers to run the facility as the Chicago & Main branch of the Evanston Public Library. A large infusion of donated funds is relied on for the bulk of the first year's operating expenses.
