Southwest Chicago Post: Little Kids, Big Trucks, Big Smiles

Little Kids, Big Trucks, Big Smiles

Most days, boys and girls hear "Don't touch that" and "Hands off" from their moms and dads.

But on Thursday, September 18, that all changed--at least for a couple of hours.

Children of all ages came out to the Kinzie School parking lot to ooh, aah, climb on, sit in and touch trucks of all kinds at a fun event sponsored by 13th Ward Ald. Marty Quinn, State Rep. Angie Guerrero-Cuellar (D-22nd), State Senator Mike Porfirio (D-11th), the Midway Chamber of Commerce, the Garfield Neighborhood Watch and others.

These images captured by photographer Kelly White illustrate some of the joy brought to the Midway area by our local leaders. Enjoy!

About Us

The Southwest Chicago Post is an independent news service delivering news and opinion to the people of Chicago's Southwest Side.

We promote prosperity, progress and peace in the neighborhoods we serve.

We intend to champion homeowners, locally owned and operated small businesses and professional practices, schools, libraries, parks, houses of worship and more.

We also strongly support efforts to prevent crime and make our neighborhoods safer.

We cheerfully assist and promote members of our business and professional community, particularly those that are independent, locally owned and which hire local residents.

This online news service is 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.
