City Manager Will Not Be the Retiring Type
Dave Limardi will continue to work after he resigns Jan. 1, 2012.
With no specific professional plans after January 1, outgoing Highland Park City Manager Dave Limardi made one thing clear about his future during a news conference Tuesday morning at City Hall. He is not retiring. With plans to stay in Highland Park and marry Kris Slattery October 22, Limardi said he will remain professionally active in some way.

Need New Furniture? Buy Chicago Bulls Star Scottie Pippen's
Thousands expected to come clean out NBA champ's former mansion this weekend.
The indoor basketball court isn't the only thing Scottie Pippen left behind when he sold his 21-room Highland Park mansion in 1996. The retired Chicago Bulls forward left rooms filled with furniture and art for the 13,000-square-foot home's new owners, in addition to t-shirts, basketballs and other Bulls memorabilia signed by players like Michael Jordan and Pippen himself. This weekend, Sheryl Rue-Borden hopes to sell all of it. "It's a big job, this is the biggest one I've ever done," said Sheryl Rue-Borden, a Prudential Rubloff real estate agent who's organizing the estate sale at the 2320 Shady Lane property. "I'm thinking of doing a map." Pippen, who custom-built the house in 1994, sold it two years later to a couple that recently died…

I knew the owners who bought the home from Pippen and he DEFINITELY did not leave all the sports memorabilia that the sales agent claims ... what a very misleading tactic to try to drum up more sales.
