- Walk with us through Chicago's Uptown neighborhood to the (former) Lakeside Theater while you learn about "cheap" movie houses and the presumed debauchery taking place within them! On this #10MinTour, we'll also stop by the glamorous Uptown Theater and the Bridgeview Bank Building, the latter of which is seen in season 4 of the TV series Fargo. Originally streamed on Facebook Live.

such a lovey short history tour of our uptown - Thank you :)
Thanks so much, Ahsan. So much movie history there in Uptown!
Love Chicago history being from Chicago. Thx!
You’re welcome! 😀
@@ChicagoMovieTours I just drove by Uptown Theater a few minutes ago. They had the door open bc of filming. I remember one summer I walked past and got to see inside. I really wish they had public tours but probably a health risk. I really wish they would restore it already.
@@TheConscienceOne That would certainly be nice. What a building! What history!
The so-called leaders in Chicago have had forty years to do something with the still spectacular and largely intact Uptown Theater, and all they do is talk, talk, talk----then talk some more. This is the greatest movie palace that has ever existed in the world, and it deserves to be restored just because it is a peerless work of art itself. Restore the damn thing or tear it down!
You missed the Wilson Theatre, still standing, and once home to vaudeville. It was converted to a bank, and is being turned into residential use.
Feel like I should have paid for this tour! Thank you
Thanks! If you ever feel like it, you're certainly welcome to donate/tip. :-) www.chicagomovietours.com/donate
Great documentary. As I walked to CTA station , I always wondering about these old theaters and what is background history.
Thanks!
