Cultural District remains in limbo as the city prioritizes funding and resources for other cultural districts pushing any substantial progress on South Shore until at least Fiscal Year 2027 A recent city memo from Anthony Segura interim director of the Economic Development Department explained that despite City Council’s directive to support economic and cultural development in the area financial constraints and conflicting policy priorities mean support for the district won’t arrive for more than a year while the area continues to undergo development City Council initially approved the South Shore Cultural District as part of a broader effort to strengthen Austin’s cultural and economic districts The district was intended to enhance the cultural fabric of the South Shore area by incorporating public space improvements cultural programming and support for local businesses and artists in the region that includes the Long Center Umlauf Sculpture Garden and portions of Zilker Park Before allocating resources to any new districts the city committed to first fulfilling obligations to already-existing cultural areas including the African American Cultural Heritage District the Fifth Street Mexican American Heritage Corridor the Red River Cultural District and the existing Souly Austin districts no dedicated staff or funding will be available for South Shore until at least FY 27 EDD is currently focused on completing work on cultural districts with preexisting obligations including infrastructure projects and funding agreements One of the key obstacles facing South Shore and other emerging cultural districts is the lack of a structured funding mechanism by the city cultural districts have been funded on an ad hoc basis with resources allocated through budget recommendations and special revenue funds Council has directed EDD to develop the Equitable Cultural District Funding Model which is expected to be presented in spring or summer 2025 This model aims to ensure consistent funding taking into account factors such as historical underinvestment and economic impact the timeline for implementing the model remains uncertain The South Shore Cultural District encompasses a mix of public and private developments but several financial and resource limitations are slowing progress in making needed improvements including adding pedestrian-friendly pathways and accessibility upgrades Several separate municipal projects are under consideration within the district with the construction of a new Dougherty Arts Center and major improvements to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden among the efforts under consideration for inclusion in the city’s expected 2026 bond proposal The memo notes that after completing commitments to existing cultural districts city staff will begin working on new district development in accordance with the Economic and Cultural District Framework Policy Full implementation likely won’t take place until well beyond 2027 The delayed action on the cultural district adds to the state of flux for the overall South Central Waterfront Initiative which was designed to somewhat guide the development of 118 acres south of Lady Bird Lake to include enhanced public spaces Progress in the area has been slowed by legal challenges The Save Our Springs Alliance filed a lawsuit against the city in May 2024 challenging the approval of the Statesman Planned Unit Development which allows for high-density mixed-use construction on the former Austin American-Statesman property a Travis County district judge invalidated a proposed tax increment reinvestment zone in April 2024 eliminating a key funding source for infrastructure improvements in the area City Council postponed the adoption of the South Central Waterfront Combining

tournaments in nine different sports: baseball boys and girls tennis and boys and girls rugby Nearly two weeks after a private meeting between city officials the property owner and residents about the unlivable conditions of the building at 6952-58 S the city has filed a lawsuit against the owners of the courtyard building formerly managed by CKO Real Estate The City of Chicago filed the complaint with the Illinois Municipal Department of the Circuit Court of Cook County on April 22 alleging that the owners of the apartment complex on Paxton Avenue failed to comply with multiple municipal codes for the city The defendants are listed as GRV Jackson Park LLC the mortgage company; and unknown owners and non-record claimants In response to questions about the possibility of condemning the Paxton property the city provided The TRiiBE with its court filings The city also filed an emergency petition to appoint a receiver alleging “that dangerous and hazardous conditions exist” at 6952-58 S The petition also states that “these dangerous and hazardous conditions pose an imminent threat of irreparable harm and injury to the health safety and welfare of the public and occupants” of the property If granted by the Circuit Court of Cook County the emergency petition would transfer possession of the property to a court-appointed receiver to create a feasibility study “regarding the care and repair of the subject property.” The receiver would have to “correct conditions that fail to conform to minimum standards of health and safety;” and make needed repairs Southside Together organizer Sahar Punjwani said that she feels the city needs to do more to alert tenants of these actions Punjwani attended the private meeting on April 10 and is coordinating organizing efforts for the tenants of the former CKO-managed properties “It’s not being communicated how all of this will impact the tenants,” Punjwani said “I think if the city wants to prioritize the safety of the tenants which they’ve been saying they want to it’s important for them to [include] the tenants in all of their plans which means communicating with the tenants about any plans they have to condemn the building communicating with the tenants about how receivership can impact them.”According to the petition filed by the city if vacating the property is deemed appropriate the receiver would be authorized to provide relocation assistance to all tenants and occupants The property comprises three stories and 31 apartment units Punjwani also stated that the city has been giving property owners too much “leeway.” She says the owners of 6952-58 S have problems at the other buildings they own In February, property management company CKO Real Estate told tenants that they shuttered its operations due to “internal corporate restructuring.” Since then tenants in formerly CKO-managed buildings across the 5th and 7th wards say they have gone without heat and hot water They want the city to hold CKO and the property owners accountable In addition to the emergency receivership petition and the filed complaint the city has also summoned the principal of CKO Real Estate along with Merchants Bank of Indiana and other “unknown owners and non-record claimants” of the property at 6952-58 S Patel did not respond to a request for comment on the summons Patel previously told The TRiiBE he had not been associated with the South Shore buildings for “some months” and could not comment on the conditions of the properties residents of the former CKO-managed buildings and Southside Together say they attended a private meeting with Chicago Department of Buildings Commissioner Marlene Hopkins; a lawyer with the city’s legal department one of the owners of the former CKO building at 6952-58 S Lauren Lampert Wolkowicki; a Halsted Taylor representative Kaylyn Fox; and the tenant liaison for the building owners Jerome Faulkner according to a press release from Southside Together who confirmed he attended the private meeting he said he didn’t recall hearing the city mention condemning the building at the meeting He said he learned about this after meeting with Southside Together on April 22 I think it’s shameful when landlords are irresponsible and allow building maintenance to be neglected,” Yancy said in a text message “Renters need more protection from bad landlords which has in it an Office of Tenant Advocacy to provide a stopgap to prevent things like this from happening.” The TRiiBE also reached out to Halsted Taylor and is still awaiting responses.At an April 22 press conference tenants who attended the April 10 private meeting said they received a verbal agreement from Wolkowicki that they could break their leases without financial penalty and would not be responsible for back rent Those tenants say they are waiting on a  written confirmation on the agreement Wolkowicki did not respond to a request for comment said she has been dealing with water damage

of Black Chicago in pursuit of truth and liberation It's NFL Draft season a new wave of standout college players will transform into incoming rookies we're partial to the South Shore high school football scene And so, our annual mock draft of local players lives on for the fourth straight year What if teams were not allowed to pick prospects from Alabama how about they put the fate of their franchises in the hands of South Shore All-Scholastics Follow me into the make-believe multiverse in which the South Shore's best high school football players and NFL decision-makers collide it appears the Titans have determined that Miami QB Cam Ward is a no-brainer pick They could go in a couple of different directions here Maas becomes the first player in the history of professional sports to be chosen No. 1 in back-to-back drafts (we had the Chicago Bears select Maas at the top of last year's mock draft) The 6-foot-5 senior quarterback amassed 2,000 yards of total offense and recorded 26 combined TDs (19 passing 7 rushing) and 7 interceptions for Marshfield last fall He led the Rams to the Division 2 state final in 2023 and Tennessee needs a proven winner to build around More: Sweet Vic-Tor-y: Marshfield’s Maas leads Rams to first Patriot Keenan title The Browns' front office saw Galligan's Hail Mary throw on SportsCenter and instantly fell in love Not even Cleveland could get this pick wrong The Browns have had just one 4,000-yard passer in their 79-year history (Brian Sipe in 1980) and Galligan will be the next to do it on his way to becoming a household name in the pros The senior quarterback holds records for single-season (2,257) and career (4,613) passing yards ,and touchdowns (57) the Giants signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the offseason but neither – nor Tommy DeVito – deterred the front office from selecting their next franchise quarterback Because Luccarelli is two years younger than both Maas and Galligan New York drafts this sophomore with the flexibility to either start him on Day 1 or opt for a redshirt rookie season so he learn from the aforementioned veterans Luccarelli won South Shore League Sullivan Division Player of the Year honors this past fall as he compiled 29 total touchdowns despite missing the first three games to injury The Patriots had a tough choice to make here – either Ridore or Scituate receiver Lawson Foley – but it's ultimately a win-win New England opts to protect Drake Maye with a long-term anchor on the offensive line while also pairing a game-wrecker on the interior defensive line alongside the newly-acquired Milton Williams Ridore graduated as Weymouth High's all-time sack leader and paved the way for the Wildcats to rush for more than 2,800 yards this fall he's a three-time state champion in rugby and a standout wrestler the Jaguars thought they'd have no chance at taking the Patriot Ledger Player of the Year Foley makes a convincing case to be the best prospect in this draft The senior receiver led Scituate to an undefeated season and the Div hauling in 979 yards and 18 TDs on offense and totaling 12 tackles for loss and 6 interceptions in the secondary on defense Jacksonville has made the playoffs four times in the last 20 years and need to cultivate a winning culture A reigning state champ is here to play savior it's never too early to take a running back The Raiders are bolstering their depth of playmakers around new QB Geno Smith with the South Shore's leading rusher Rees ran for 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns The senior now joins forces with Brock Bowers as another up-and-coming star on the Raiders' offense MarshfieldThe Jets had one of the lowest-graded offensive lines in the league last year and they pluck one of our area's best to keep new QB Justin Fields upright helped Marshfield amass over 4,000 yards of offense (2,030 passing and 1,951 rushing) this past fall Richard offers Carolina the opportunity to patch up multiple needs with one selection punter and kick-returner will serve as a safety valve for third-year QB Bryce Young on offense and be one of the most versatile playmakers on a defense that struggled mightily finished with 1,101 total yards and 11 touchdowns as BC High reached the Div New Orleans has its first foundational quarterback since Drew Brees retired four years ago. Carroll completed 74 percent of his passes en route to a 2,069-yard 23-touchdown campaign as BC High reached the Division 1 semifinals this fall 10. Chicago Bears: James Scanlon, DuxburyCaleb Williams was sacked 68 times, the third-most in NFL history, as a rookie last year. That won't happen again with Scanlon up front 240-pound senior lineman will also pitch in on Chicago's run game He helped Duxbury rush for over 2,500 yards last fall The 49ers had a fair share of skill-position players to choose from in this spot, but instead, they opt to invest in a succession plan for 36-year-old tackle Trent Williams. Ames helped the Scituate offense rush for more than 2,000 yards and over 30 touchdowns in an undefeated season last fall Fans of so-called 'America's team' will quickly fall in love this pick This senior is one of the most versatile players in the draft He rushed for 1,084 yards and 12 touchdowns on offense 6 sacks and 2 interceptions on defense this fall Boutin will do a little bit of everything for a Cowboys team that Miami has a big hole to fill its offense line due to Terron Armstead's retirement the second Weymouth lineman chosen in this draft was part of a run game that produced 2,800 yards 14. Indianapolis Colts: Jarred Mighty, BrocktonOur fictional draft experts are still baffled at how arguably the best all-around athlete in the draft class slipped to this spot shined at free safety this fall with 58 tackles and 4 interceptions He can also pitch in on a budding offense alongside QB Anthony Richardson as he had 1,087 yards of total offense for the Boxers last year The Falcons' defense ranks last in sacks and QB pressures over the past five seasons a junior linebacker who in an eight-game debut season at Milton Academy recorded 70 tackles Arizona has potential to assemble a glitzy high-flying offense as currently constructed with Kyler Murray under center and Marvin Harrison Jr Robinson produced over 1,500 yards of total offense and 20 touchdowns for the Div he will attend West Point after high school There's no shortage of such summertime places on the South Shore and that's not even taking all the new places to try into account April alone has seen a number of restaurants and other food-related businesses come online and there's already reason enough to believe that will continue to be the case heading into the full summer season Check out some of the highlights of the latest restaurant news below and let us know if you know of some place people should know about Jojo's brings the sweets and meats to Shaw's PlazaThe retail space at 644 Middle St. in the Weymouth Shaw's plaza has been home to a few different businesses over the last several years then there was Vovo's and now it's time for Jojo's the previous two businesses and now Jojos specialize in sweet treats and other baked goods and desserts Where Jojo's differs, though, is that it brings the meats with the sweets and custom gift baskets by making charcuterie boards a central part of its offerings More about Amorepas: Extra love at new Quincy bakery.
