Evanston is a busy place, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything that happens over the weekend. To help us all stay in touch, send us your photos and we will share them with the community.
You can send your photo submissions to news@evanstonroundtable.com.
Despite sub-zero temperatures, a cold weather advisory and up to 10 inches of snowfall, residents headed outdoors this week to explore – and photograph – snowy Evanston. We were wowed by the submissions that flooded our inbox this week.

The recent snowfall inspired our RoundTable photographers as well.

Referring to the picture of the southbound Purple Line train crossing the bridge over the North Shore Channel, said bridge hasn’t received a new protective coating (repainting) for the past 90 years. Also, more accessible to the public eye is the viaduct at Lincoln & Ridge, where that rusty bridge overhead hasn’t seen attention for who knows how long? With the latest national concern for our bridges AND the collapse of one in Pittsburgh, isn’t it time that Evanston hounds the CTA to get into action. Both these structures initially involve lead abatement containment as the steel work has to be blasted to bare metal.
