Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Department of Family and Support Services Commissioner Evelyn Diaz announced last week that the City of Chicago will facilitate more than 18,000 job opportunities for young adults ages 16 to 24, a record not reached outside years with extra federal stimulus money. 190,000 educational and recreational activities are also available for Chicagoans ages 6 to 24. These investments in young Chicagoans will play an important role in providing a safe environment for youth throughout the City. The online registration and application period for summer jobs has ended, however many activities are still available at this time.
Chicago’s own Rosemarie Black, aka “Racetrack Rosie” has died. Black was a stripper and was extremely recognizable on Chicago’s south side mainly because of the humongous cowboy hats and colorful form fitting clothes she wore which showcased her voluptuous figure. Reportedly Black worked as an exotic dancer until she was 60 years old.
