Burnham Plaza Theatre<\/u><\/p>\n

826 S. Wabash Street, Chicago, IL
\nStatus: Closed
\nScreens: Multiplex (5 Screen)
\nArchitect: Robert C. Berlin<\/p>\n

The YMCA Hotel opened in 1915, located on Wabash Street in the South Loop, designed by architect Robert C. Berlin. Eleven years later, Berlin designed an addition to the hotel, in a similar style to his original.<\/p>\n

In 1988, the building was converted over to mixed residential and retail use, including a multiplex theater, originally operated by Cineplex Odeon. The former hotel building was renamed the Burnham Plaza around this time.<\/p>\n

After it was closed by the Meridian chain in 2000, the Burnham Plaza Theatre was reopened by the Village Theatres chain, showing first-run features, but at bargain prices.<\/p>\n

The Burnham Plaza closed for good in September 2005. The building is scheduled to be converted into medical offices.<\/i><\/p>\n

This was the cheapest theater in the area, and was always empty so you never had to search for a seat. It was also very close to us, and parking was easy at night. *sigh*

Chase Cafe<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

7301 N. Sheridan, Chicago IL
\nStatus: Closed<\/p>\n

Located in the very large lobby of a Roger\u2019s Park apartment building, this all-ages venue offers a section for eating that serves soups, sandwiches and salads, along with espresso and coffee. Patrons lounge on couches and chairs near a fireplace, but wander into another section and you\u2019ll find a cyber cafe\/copy shop\/computer lab (complete with CD duplicators and a brand spankin’ new color copier…forget Kinko’s). Make your way to the next section and you\u2019ll find a pool table and a gift shop before entering the largest area, where you\u2019ll find a ballroom whose stage features live music and improv theater. Expect to mingle with artsy locals and hippie types eager to sample something healthy from the juice bar.<\/i><\/p>\n

This was my freshman year hangout. It is where I started overcoming stage fright and made some very dear friends. I loved Tuesday night open mic.

Apparently under new management and being remodeled, and is NOT closed as previously thought. At least ONE of my college hangouts is not disappearing. whew! But I wonder if it will ever be the same…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
