Homewood Cash Mob Takes a Twist, But Still Going Strong

Patch took some time to catch up with the Homewood Cash Mob's chief proponent, Kate Duff, to see how the idea is maturing and learn what to expect during Wednesday's mob.

Update @ 1 p.m. on June 26: the secret Cash Mob location, Homewood Florist, and the after-mob party at Tokyo Japaese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar has been added to the body.

Homewood Cash Mob Rule: Feedback Friday

A weekly update to help you keep up with the comments and conversations on H-F Patch and H-F Patch’s Facebook.

Thanks to our newest Facebook buddies, we're 23 "likes" higher than last week. As a person who lived through the '90s Bulls dynasty, I'm a big fan of the number 23. Needless to say, it's been a good week. A huge thanks to all our readers, new and old. Last Saturday marked a special occasion: The Southland's first ever Cash Mob—and it was held at Art 4 Soul here in Homewood. Aftermob specials were held at Twisted Q and the new Good Life Cafe on Ridge Road. If you missed out on it but want to see what a Cash Mob is like, check out our video from the event. Here's what some of our Facebook pals were saying about it: It's been a week since the Chicago Sun-Times debuted its new, feistier, sensationalistic tabloid style. We put up a poll on …

First Homewood Cash Mob Is a Hit

Scores of people came out to shop at Art 4 Soul over the weekend during the Southland's first ever Cash Mob.

In but a lightening fast two-hour interval, the mob came and left Art 4 Soul last Saturday. "This is very much different than a normal day of business," Owner Jen Sesto said. "This has been a tremendous, tremendous outpouring of the community." Beyond the immediate influx of cash, Sesto says she is confident the mob will produce residual value as well. "This is what Homewood's all about," Homewood Community Development Director Paula Wallrich said. "We do have a pretty strong shop local program, but this epitomizes everything we try so hard to do and it's all happening on one day."
