On Friday I was on the radio again talking about low cost/no cost opportunities around Chicago's north side and North Shore with Daniel French on WCGO 1590 AM.
Here's some of what I talked about:
Happening annually in August since 2007, Skokie Backlot Bash -- some of it free, some of it requires funds -- includes live music, a carnival, a 5K Run, a children’s stage, an auto show and on Sunday, a pancake breakfast and farmer's market.
FREE movie in Skokie: The Public Enemy,
Skokie Public Library Sunday, noon.
Starring James Cagney Jean Harlow and Joan Blondell, this flick details the violent rise of two young hoodlums through the ranks of the Chicago underworld in the prohibition era. The famous and controversial grapefruit scene comes from this flick. Women's groups rose up in protest over such brutal abuse of a woman on-screen in the 30s.
FREECYCLING on Facebook: Friendly, with simple rules, Evanston IL Free Stuff is a closed Facebook group for folks in and around Evanston who offer free stuff, especially furniture, and those who want it.
There’s another one called Free Community Repurposing - Wilmette / Winnetka / Evanston. It is a public group, but you won’t be added unless you live in or around the Chicago North Shore area.
FREE in Evanston for women in leadership: On Tuesday, August 29, Malik Turley and others at Hip Circle Empowerment Center are hosting a brown-bag EmPOWER lunch for women who are primary decision-makers at work or in the community, in order to encourage connection and support.
AMNESTY for scofflaws in Evanston: Motorists with unpaid parking tickets issued in Evanston have until the end of September to pay up without being charged late fees. After that, those with a bunch of outstanding tickets risk being booted, if they come to Evanston. Why the amnesty? Follow the money.

Got news about FREE STUFF to be found in and around Chicago's north side, North Shore and northern suburbs? Tell me more about it via email.
