The Blues Brothers were on a mission from God and the Portage theater is on a mission to re-endear itself to its neighbors in 2014. The Portage is hosting A free screening of the 1980 film 7 p.m. June 28, followed by a post-film concert with BlackJackBlue and Kevan Eftekhari of Robot Lounge. If you haven't visited the re-opened Portage yet, Saturday would be a great opportunity to see what plans are in store for the venue. (4050 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
