Vote for Chatham. Vote for the South Side.

Chatham residents and surrounding South Side Chicago communities  want an alternative to the high prices of the limited grocers and retail outlets in their neighborhoods. Wal-mart, the grocer and retailer, wants to occupy an approved development site on the south side of Chicago, Chatham Market. In a rough economy, we could use the jobs and the millions of dollars of tax revenue that a Wal-mart could bring to the South Side.

Tell your Alderman to Vote for Chatham! It’s about OUR community and therefore OUR choice.
