Movie Theatre Back in Rogers Park


That old movie theater staple of North Sheridan Road and the Loyola area -- renamed for years the Village North before closing in January -- reopened Wednesday night as the New 400 Theater. Read more.

Great to see the improved theater back.

A very nice commercial district is forming along Sheridan from Farwell to Devon.

Oh!
It is wonderful to read positive news on The Broken Heart Of Chicago about the re-opening of that ex-gummy,noise busting level-surrounded by sound,stadium like movie house(with the enhanting interior decor and illuminated ceiling)the 400 theater.
Transitions are a thrilling process.
Like the buddhist philosophy of re-incarnation.
Movie houses and re-incarnation.
what does that bring to mind?
An individual named Harve Presnell or better known all around as Wade Gustafson in the movie Fargo or to others for his intepretation of General George C. Marshall in the film Saving Private Ryan.
As of this morning I'm curious about what he'll metamorphasize as for his second act role here on planet Earth?

I went to the theater tonight to see Public Enemies. The theater looks very nice and the staff was friendly. I asked about the BYOBag popcorn deal they used to have, and the lady said they are going to bring it up with the manager the next meeting, so, *fingers crossed*. I hope the theater stays nice, and I'm very fearful that those TVs out front are going to get jacked or spray painted over. But I love how it's right down the street from me...very convenient! Please, everyone, go often so it stays open!! :)

Raychel - Totally agree with you that everyone should go to keep it in business, but I'm going to go further and suggest everyone buy some popcorn and a coke/glass of water while you're there. These are where they make their money and will allow them to remain open.
