Block Clubs
As I expressed in my last blog post, I was impressed to see how Jargowood meets on occasion to share insight about what is going on in the local community: businesses planned (or struggling); proposed developments; public safety issues.
Do other block clubs serve similar purposes?
Of course, many block clubs are known for throwing the seasonal block parties.
Though its presumptuous of me to think that only my third blog post will generate much of a response, I’m curious to hear about other people’s block club experiences, present day or past, favorable or not. If you are inclined to do so, please respond to this post.

About the Author
Mike has a long term relationship with Rogers Park, having lived here at various times in his life, most recently returning to the neighborhood in August, 2009. While living here as a third year law student, he remembers drunken nights at Biddy Mulligan’s and hosting a couple of memorable parties that he, hypocritically, now forbids his own tenants from having. Years later, after completing his stint as a lawyer, Mike started investing in apartment buildings in Rogers Park (and elsewhere), and soon after, did what many newly divorced real estate investors do: he moved into one of his buildings. In 1992 Mike was one of the founding members of the Rogers Park Builders Group, an organization that he eventually headed for six years, until yielding those reigns three years ago. Around a decade ago, on a whim, he reserved the web site “Rogerspark.com,” which he has been developing ever since, and which co-hosts RP BizArts networking events. Mike is the proud father of three wonderful children, Amy, Mitch and Ella.
