Someone should tell the redistricting commission that they moved the
Hawthorne neighborhood into the 5th Ward, because the "Approved Ward Plan
April 18, 2002" shows the Hawthorne neighborhood as residing in the 3rd
Ward, with the possible exception of one or two blocks in the northwest
corner of the neighborhood.
