Leadership Evanston is asking residents to participate in a discussion on the shopping center's future.
What is your ideal vision of Evanston Plaza? What could the shopping center be in the not-so-distant future if few restrictions applied? These were the questions nearly 30 Evanston residents were asked to answer at a Sunday afternoon Leadership Evanston meeting held at Perla Café, 1813 Dempster St. The purpose of the gathering, said organizers, was to encourage residents to think big, to create a bold vision to work toward, to ignore potential restrictions guaranteed in the leases of current plaza stores and to record community sentiments that Leadership Evanston members could eventually present to both aldermen and the plaza’s owner.

Old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs are on their way to becoming obsolete. The first to go is the 100-watt, which is no longer being produced as of January. The next to go will be the 75-watt bulb in January 2013, followed by 60- and 40-watt bulbs in 2014. The phase-out is a result of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, which was intended to make better use of resources and to help the U.S. become energy independent.
