Southwest Chicago Post Southwest Chicago Post on Facebook offers instant access to news and opinion of Chicago's Southwest Quite the contrary, in fact. ([email protected])

The Southwest Chicago Post is an independent news service for the people of Chicago's Southwest Side. Our aim is to promote prosperity, progress and peace in the neighborhoods we serve---primarily the neighborhoods on all four sides of Midway Airport, but our coverage will include items of interest to all Southwest Siders. We intend to champion local homeowners, locally owned and operated small bu

sinesses and professional practices, schools, libraries, parks, houses of worship and more. We strongly support local efforts to prevent crime and make neighborhoods safer. We do cheerfully assist and promote members of our local business and professional community, particularly those that are independent, locally owned and which hire local residents. We at the Southwest Chicago Post do not consider ourselves to be in competition with any existing community newspapers serving the Southwest Side. We will offer our content to them to enhance their products. We encourage everyone to support them as local businesses. This online news service is locally owned and operated by lifelong Southwest Siders Joan Hadac (Editor and Publisher) and Tim Hadac (Managing Editor), both of whom have worked as local newspaper reporters and editors for over 25 years each. We encourage all our readers to post comments on the news stories and opinion pieces that we post. All comments will be reviewed before being posted. We do allow anonymous comments, yet we will not allow the Southwest Chicago Post to serve as a forum for bigotry of any kind. We also will not allow personal attacks against anyone, including elected officials and other public figures. On this site, all of us need to keep our tone respectful and our criticisms constructive. We welcome your constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.

A message from SWCP Editor Tim Hadac: "When the colorful Zoomin Groomin van pulled up to my house today for the first time ever, my dog, Bowie, looked a bit apprehensive--no surprise, since she has always been fearful of groomers at several brick-and-mortar locations.
But once inside the warm van, she immediately calmed down and even acted like she was having her own personal spa day. From start to finish, Bowie's time with Zoomin Groomin was smooth and relaxed. It was great for her and highly convenient for me, since I didn't have to leave the comfort of my own home. And that matters more than ever in the winter months.
Zoomin Groomin - Southside Chicago, IL is Southwest Side-owned and operated. For more information, check out this SWCP story from a few weeks ago: http://www.swchicagopost.com/2025/12/zoomin-groominmobile-pet-grooming.html

If you have not read the Chicago Tribune story about shocking examples of waste and fraud in CPS, here is a link to the full CPS OIG report. In a time when CPS leadership (and even more so, CTU leadership) keeps crying for more, more, more of our tax dollars, the crimes exposed in this report are disgusting.https://cpsoig.org/uploads/3/5/5/6/35562484/cpsoig_annual_report_fy2025.pdf

Thank you to all of our sponsors for making these donations possible! 🍀
