NU of Evanston IL Rated in the Top 25 Most Beautiful Campuses

Northwestern University Evanston IL has been rated in the top 25 Most Beautiful Campuses by thrillist. They say, "Just the view of the Evanston campus at sunset could have you anchored to this campus for hours… or four years. Architectural beauty, spanning collegiate Gothic to modern steel and glass, fills the university’s 240 acres on Lake Michigan. On the way to see the impressive stained-glass windows of the Alice Millar Chapel, stop by The Rock (no, not Dwayne) and see one of the university’s most artistic traditions, where student groups paint their message on the boulder as advertisement -- after staking it out for 24 hours for the right to do so."

A huge honor for the Northwestern and Evanston IL. We are very proud of our university and NU is a big part of Evanston. I often walk through the beautiful lakefront of NU and so many others do too. If you ever get a chance to visit, defiantly check it out.

Evanston IL A Walk In The Park

Since it is Labor Day weekend it is time to get out and enjoy the outside as much as possible. Boy the Summer went fast. It's ok because this weekend is hot and balmy so I decided to go out and walk around the beach and lakefront of Evanston IL. There were no plans on photographing the scene but on the spur of the moment I took a few shots with my phone.

I hope you are enjoying your 3 day weekend and having nice weather. Whatever you are doing I want you to be happy, healthy and enjoying your day.

Peace and Love to everyone in this world and let us pray that one day everyone gets along and lives in harmony.

Evanston IL

The City of Evanston IL received an award for "embracing a culture of innovation" by Public Technology Institute. The Public Technology institute gave Evanston IL a special Designation as a "Tech Savvy award Winner.

I quote the great Evanston Patch:

Evanston is the only city in the United States to receive the Public Technology Institute’s (PTI) special designation as a Tech Savvy award winner, and they have done so two years in a row.

PTI’s 2015 Local Government Tech Savvy Designation Award Program selected three PTI member local governments that met a comprehensive list of nine criterions where technology is used to address issues, current challenges and to create future opportunities across the enterprise. Pinellas County, Florida and Sacramento County, California were also selected.

“I am very proud that Evanston has been recognized for using technology to improve services for our internal and external customers,” said Evanston City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz. “It is an honor to again be the only city of any size nationwide to receive this designation. Receiving this award for two consecutive years shows that staff is constantly striving to make Evanston the most livable city. The City’s technology leaders and all staff members are to be congratulated for a job well done.”

Evanston was rewarded because it “embraces a culture of technology innovation and because department directors identify areas for collaboration around technology solutions,” according to a city news release.

Over the last year, the city incorporated low cost web-based software-as-a-service solutions and combines an online form builder, Wufoo, with an online payment service, Stripe to create online forms allowing residents to make payments on the city website instead of by phone, mail or in person.
