The Portage not only is thriving it Rocks. That event was brought to you by the same neighborhood people. We were thrilled with the response and are planning a second for next year.
PS. I really want to speak with you we have to set up a time to have a private chat – let me know when and where

Life’s too short…there are alot of things we were all led to believe. Unfortunately some believed longer than others and some got it a little sooner than others. The great news is that as a result of our blood, sweat, tears and perseverance our beloved Portage Theater is now open and bringing Chicagoans wonderful events such as the one I posted above. It has not been subdivided into pieces or turned into condo’s and it is thriving. Dennis is doing an awesome job his staff is fabulous to work with and he is bringing a new face and new life to our community. We are thrilled to have him here.

Paul, I’m glad you came out to the Portage on Friday Night – This event was organized by a group of residents (myself included) and the Six Corners Association. We really had alot of fun planning the event and hope to plan several similar events in the future including but not limited to the 2nd Annual Monster Film Festival (we are thinking of going 3D for this one)Oct 26 – Oct 31, 2007. We were thrilled to see a line of people down the block and around the corner it proves yet again that people are interested in the Portage Theater. Some ideas for future shows are a Godzilla Fest, Star Trek Fest, Cartoon Saturday and more. Please keep checking the Portage website for updates or go to www.sixcornerschicago.com for more info. Thanks again for attending the event.
If you have any other ideas please let me know we are meeting to discuss future events next week I would love to hear them.

Mr Warshauer did not own the theatre as stated in the first comment and if there were more stories posted about his spotty past and less about how the City of Chicago has taken advantage of him the true story would come out…all I can say is do your homework. A group of us from Portage Park did and were horrified at what we found
