You can buy Eve’s book Electric Arches here from Haymarket Books (or from Bookie’s on Western if you are in the neighborhood). Information on her many other projects can be found on her website. The New Yorker piece she excerpted for The Frunchroom is here.

Here is the beginning of Alderman Matt O’Shea’s plan to close/merge schools in the 19th ward, here is an article about parents going in front of the CPS board about it and here’s his decision to eventually scrap the whole thing after parents marched in the streets. Oh and here’s a letter I wrote to the Beverly Review about the whole thing.

Mare Swallow has collected some of her writing on her website.

This episode was recorded by Jaime Black of Dynasty Podcasts on September 27th, 2016 at Beverly Woods Restaurant at 115th and Western. (The restaurant was briefly closed, but has been purchased and re-opened by a new set of owners.)
