Horror of Horrors: Chicago does NOT need another "Macy's or loft condo development," but a multi-screen theater devoted to indie and foreign cinema WOULD actually be cool. Big difference.

Trader Vic's is not supposed to open until the end of 2007.

If that Dominick's on Columbus and Grand can finally open, ANYTHING can open.

I smell the horrors of gentrification, which we all know is evil from the many anti-condo posts on this blog. Turns out if its something you like though, it's okay. You would all be protesting if it were becoming a Macy's or loft condo development.

Josh, You're confusing Trader Vic's (the tiki bar/restaurant) with Trader JOE'S (the grocery store). Wouldn't be the first time that's happened ...

The areas down there are underserved by theaters too. Imagine if you live anywhere outside of Streeterville or Old Town, where do you go for a show? This will serve people from West Town to Oak Park, Bridgeport to the South Loop and UIC. It's about time. Not looking forward to the traffic though. West Loop is going to really start getting crowded one of these days.
