Extremely Local News: When could the Portage Theater reopen?
Shamus Toomey, Editor in Chief and co-founder of Block Club Chicago, joins Bob Sirott to share the latest Chicago neighborhood stories. Shamus has details on:
Historic Portage Theater Has A New Owner Who Plans To Revive It As A Community Space: Chris Bauman, founder of the Avondale Music Hall and partial owner of the Patio Theater, bought the theater and wants to create a “community center” that hosts concerts, film screenings, indoor markets, performances and more.
What’s Up With The Obama Presidential Center?: With the Obama Presidential Center set to open next year, Maxwell Evans joins the Block Club Chicago podcast to discuss how neighbors feel as it nears completion — and what Chicagoans really think about its look.
