You can probably google or look up the article in the Patch. One mother of a teen victim went to Washington with Jan Schowsky on the gun control bill. There was a gun buy-back program last fall in Evanston with some success. Evanston is not a save place at night. These thugs travel to Skokie, which why the shooting happened at Old Orchard Mall. There were apparently several gang members at the carnival. It was a planned incident not random.

R.Hopf - I actually agree with you for the most part, but Skokie does not have controll over the…Read More Section 8 (landlords have the control). I am more discussed at the landlords who don't screen their tenants. This has been going on all over the country that landlords rent to Section 8 because it is guaranteed rent. I don't think you are being fair to NN. The troublemakers at NN get sent to one of the 3 alternative schools in Skokie. There are security officers on duty at all times. Where is a good place to send your child to school these days? Maybe a private school if I could afford $24k/yr tuition. Do you think I can get a voucher to send by child to one of these schools? I don't think so. I also don't think it is safe anywhere these days. I wouldn't open my door to a stranger if I lived in ANY suburb. I'm from a small town in Illiniois that has a population of 1100 and everyone locks their doors and don't open it to any strangers.

I have a comment on Patch's Support: I fully understand that there must be a lot going on when doing a new format. However, I sent a message to Patch Support (@patch.zendesk.com) on 6/2/13 @ Noon. I immediately received an automated e-mail confirmation of my message saying "Your request has been received, and is being reviewed by our support staff. We will respond to your request as soon as possible." That's the last I've heard. I just checked the status of my request and it still says "This request is awaiting assignment to a support agent.". 2 parts of my request were that Patch reinstated a previously-deleted account, and changed my user name on a current account. (Hence, my now-changed -- by ME!! -- user name.) One time I had good results with Support; they deleted a photo in a day or so. The next time, after 2 follow-ups with no response, I requested my account be deleted. That part they did promptly. Oddly, that is the very account that is active again. Losing confidence when there isn't IT support. Or, if there really IS support, not getting a reply...

Hi Patch changes User names - the function that I am "missing" is to follow comments when…Read More you haven't commented yourself. I do received notifications of new comments on articles that I post (like this one) and to ones which I have made comments. But why should I have to make a comment just to be able to receive notifications when the article has been updated of someone has made a comment. Sometimes I want to be part of the discussion and will comment - but some of the time I would like to just "observe" (and perhaps later will make a comment). With the previous version I could do that.

I agree that email notifications on comments and updated articles should be restored. This is how…Read More the conversations get started and keeps the interest.
