The purchase was very painless. The office has a large amount of local brochures regarding local restaurants and entertainment venues. So if you need any information regarding Lakeview, just stop in or go to their website. The Chamber does a great job of informing the community of various events via email and I enjoy receiving the emails. Keep up the good job.

This review is NOT aimed at the entire police force as I find them to be such a great resource…read more Although being a woman I really felt the need to comment on a women police officer in lakeview who is clearly on a power trip and is a complete negative to their force. How embarassing as a women to have to admit to the stereotype but she fit it right on. I was walking down the street after bar time headed home minding my own businness. She peaked her head out of a passenger side police truck to tell me she didn't like the shoes I was wearing and i bet I regretted wearing them...funny I wasn't walking funny or limping but she felt the need to go out of her way to say that and to ask where my firends were. We had seperated a block before because of where we live. if she cared anything about me,(or was doing her job) she would've simply askked if I was alright and if i needed help, buat no, she's bitter . (or at least looked that way) I have had so many other police officers make sure I make it home alright or ask if I'm okay. . Isn't that the ponit of the job? To make sure everyone is safe? Not to mock them on their way home...especially if they didn't ask.

I was rear ended on the way to work yesterday. I contacted police on the scene, and they informed…read moreme that I can continue to work and go to a police station when I'm able to. (Since no injuries / car is drivable) I stopped by district 17 PD in Albany Park after work, to which an officer kindly advised me of the extended wait time, and informed me I had 10 days to file the report. Wanting to rest after work, I thanked him and decided to head back the next day. Today, I went to this police station in lake view east, since it's closer to me. After entering, I was called over by one of the police officers. He was older-middle aged, and Hispanic/latino. He asked me where the crash occurred, and I gave him the intersection we were at. He told me he needed an address and to pull out my phone and get it. Sure no problem - I'm happy to do that. He then makes a comment that I should know traffic rules and laws before coming there. I felt that was totally unnecessary. I just moved into the city a few months ago, and this is the first time I was asked specifically for an address. Wanting to just get this report filed and done with, I gave the officer the address I found. Next, the officer says since it's been a day since the accident, there's a chance the other party in the accident has filed a report already. He said he did not want two reports to be filed and instructed me to contact the other party to ask if he has filed a police report already. The other party was clearly at fault, and they sustained minimal damage to their vehicle. On the other hand, it's clear I will need at least a new bumper put on. I had already filed a claim with their insurance before coming in as well. So I questioned why it was necessary to contact the other driver. I couldn't imagine why the other party would go and file a report already, when they might not need any repairs at all and had already admitted fault. Then, the officer sighs, shakes his head, and tells me it was necessary that we contacted to ask if they had already filed a report. He then said something along the lines of, "here - give me their number. I'll call them if you're too scared to do it." I came for help but instead was bullied by a full grown adult. After that comment, I walked out, because I couldn't take any more of the cruel and unnecessary comments. I decided to make the 30 minute drive back to district 17, and was helped by a different officer than the one I had spoken to the night before. He was able to help me, without complaining or criticizing, and while treating me with the amount of respect and dignity that all people deserve. He was kind, helpful, and patient with me. It was so relieving after the experience I had just had at this station - in lake view. I want to shout out all of the officers at district 17 PD for their friendliness and their willingness to help. That is how you protect and serve the public. I'm so incredibly disappointed with how the officer at the district 19 PD on Addison street handled my request. His attitude and senseless cruelty is harmful to the community he has vowed to serve. Shame on him for his actions today.

Not helpful to customers at all. The entire Chicago USPS is God awful and no supervisors or managers se to care either.

We went in today to register for the summer reading program (kids have already completed two other programs at libraries outside of Chicago).

I was explaining to the front desk person that they sent me up there to get a form and she interrupted me and told me I needed to go to summer reading table to get the form. Then another person at the front desk that I can go over to it seemed to be another table like an information desk. I went over there and she said oh no yeah we don't have any more forms and the program ends in August anyway. I've never been in a library where people were more discouraged to read.
