My wife and I are in the process of selling our current business and would certainly be interested in owning a theater like this. We currently enjoy watching movies and community performances at the Pickwick Theater and appreciate the impact that a stately theater can have on its community. We believe that the Portage Park community can embrace what this stately theater is capable of offering.
Can anyone answer the following preliminary questions:
Is the Patio for sale?
Does the Patio still have its Barton organ?
Does the organ still work?
Are there any schools or churches located nearby to negotiate parking (similar to the Music Box Theater)?
If the Patio is not for sale, is it up for lease?
Most importantly, does anyone know who to contact if the Patio is for sale/lease?
Like many who have posted here, we have been disheartened to see so many of these great theaters being razed in favor of condos (like my childhood theater the Adelphi). If possible, we would like to investigate the feasibility of operating the Patio to save this wonderful treasure for our children and grandchildren. Once these tresures are torn down they can never come back.
