The mayor, who is running for a second term on Tuesday's ballot, is scheduled to swing by North Park Village, Admiral by the Lake and Breakers Senior Home for coffee with city seniors Monday morning, according to his campaign.

Earlier in the day, he tweeted a picture of himself greeting voters at the Loyola Red Line stop.
