I didn’t take any pictures. I intended to, but the neighborhood appeared so threatening that I didn’t feel it was wise to get out of the car, even in broad daylight.

Went and saw the Palace today. There is absolutely nothing remotely repairable about that building. Multiple trees growing out of the walls and roof. The whole place looks like it is about to collapse into a heap.

So Trolleyguy, you’re saying there’s no way of going in and going through it?

The original auditorium was so completely destroyed by water damage by the time they restored it, that there was no chance of actually restoring it. There were several tons of ruined ornamental plaster hauled out of there by guys with masks on before they could even begin to work in there.

Question for everyone. I am visiting in the Chicago area, and would like to go and see the Palace Theater. How safe is it to go into the neighborhood during the daytime? Or am I taking my life into my hands?
