The animal tested positive for rabies. City officials warn of the importance of getting your pet vaccinated for rabies.
The city of Chicago Commission of Animal Control announced on Tuesday that a bat has tested positive for rabies in the West Beverly/Morgan Park area. The bat was discovered on the 2600 block of W. 107th Street on Saturday, May 5. A rabies examination by the Illinois State Public Health Laboratory determined that the bat was infected with rabies. Animal care urges residents to keep their dogs, cats and ferrets on a leash when they are outside of the home.

If you live in Chicago you should call 311 to report it and animal control will be contacted. Suburbanites…

The city has added more workers to graffiti removal crews, but the number of graffiti reports in the 19th Ward remains relatively low.
Five new painters are making their way around the city combatting a widespread graffiti problem that some officials argue should have been remedied long ago.

Graffiti Blasters is a city program that began in 1993 under Mayor Daley, an ABC News story says. "The point was to remove the graffiti quickly on private and public property so vandals wouldn't have a chance to put it up again," the publication reports. So far in 2013, there have been only 37 requests for graffiti removal in the 19th Ward, according to city data. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation is responsible for tending to such vandalism and with the five …
