Oswegoing: Elegant White Lines

Think you know where this picture was taken? There's free stuff in it for you if you're right.

Open your eyes and look around. Welcome to Oswegoing, our weekly   contest to find those who are really paying attention. Each week, our crack photographer, Andrew Mayton, will  post a photo like the one you see above—a close-up or detail shot  of a  well-known village of Oswego landmark.

Your job is to tell us where the picture was taken. You’ll have to   leave your guess in the comments field below, because that’s the only   way it’ll count. If you get it right, there’s free Patch stuff waiting   for you. Who doesn’t love free Patch stuff?

 And on that note, who doesn't love pancakes?  Andrew's Troop 81 is having a pancake breakfast on Saturday, November 3 from 7am to noon at Metea Valley High School on Eola Road in Aurora. 

Tickets are available at the door, $5 for an individual or $15 for a family.  Any one coming to the breakfast can asked to be served by the Patch’s photo hound Andrew Mayton.  The breakfast is the only fundraiser troop 81 does to support its scouts and features all you can eat pancakes and sausage.

Opinion - I have a fulltime job. My wife has a fulltime job. Our kids are in school and very busy.Read More We were taught to vote and those elected to the board of education hires a superintendent and the superintendent manages the school district. We know several board members from the past and two current board members. Hiring administrators? The board approves. Hiring new staff? The board approves. Purchasing computers. The board approves. (And we need more!) The answers to all of your questions? The board is elected by us to do a job. Let them do it. The supt is hired by the board to do a job. Let him do it. I don't have the time or the desire to know everything. That is why I helped HIRE (elect) the board of education. We hear from many in our neighborhood and the replacements are needed because this district needs some changes. Side by side comparisons? Really? That is the job of the board of education. We hear great things are happening. Let's all get behind the new people and show support. Thank you and this is just our opinion.

Ginny- you make great points. Thank you.

The school district and park district basically run this town. If you don't like it, leave. That'sRead More the way it has been for 20 years and it isn't going to change. Anytime there is talk of voting down one of their major referendums, the ensuing debate becomes very predictable. Most notably, they threaten to go nuclear and cut sports and the band and that scares residents into shelling out the cash. Remember when the OHS band went to the Rose Bowl parade years ago? There was a referendum not long after that where they said the band would be cut if it didn't pass. Those are the politics these leaches play. And I call them leaches because that's all they are. They suck the blood (property tax cash) from Oswego. There are sooooo many things from over the years I could write here. One that really stands out is a full color booklet that was sent to residents explaining that the Oswego school system was lagging behind and that they needed more money. It was later determined that a construction company paid for the booklet to be sent out. So basically they were trying to convince Oswego residents undercover that we needed more schools..... for them to get the contracts to build. And don't even get me started on the Oswego Ledger newspaper, which has the reach to set the record straight on a lot of things. They are great for coverage of area events and whatnot, but their political coverage has always been a disgrace. I've often wondered if the local government has the paper in their back pocket. That was as of a few years ago. I haven't given them my money since then. Maybe it has changed. If so, I would gladly subscribe again. If you go out into the community and talk about the property taxes and where they are going, everyone agrees that something needs to be done. Don't be fooled by the extremely vocal minority that shows up online (such as on this page) to support the way things currently are.
