Life’s too short: thanks for the itinerary of the American Conservatory. How sad to hear that it is no more. I wonder if my piano teacher Charlotte Berguson is still alive.

Serious overwhelm of nostalgia for me when contemplating this area of S. Michigan Ave.

What a delight to discover that the Tivoli is alive and well! This was where I first saw movies as a child in the late 60s/early 70s. I hope to view a film at the Tivoli while in the area on vacation this month.
Does the theater tend to show big releases? Any art or foreign films?

How sad to discover here that the Fine Arts is no more! While an undergrad at U of Chicago (82-86), I had my first experience of “art” film here…Wenders Paris Texas, Lynch Blue Velvet, and of course the Talking Heads! If not mistaken, I saw Ghost Dog here during a visit sometime in 2000. Is that possible?
As a fourth grader, I took piano lessons at the American Conservatory upstairs. Is it still there?
