PORTAGE PARK
Make sure you mark your calendars now because coming to Portage Park in 10 days is the Horror Society Film Festival. I have to say better late than never.
The Portage Theater will be showcasing classics like 'The Return of the Living Dead,' 'Fleshbeast,' 'Colin,' 'Zombie Girl' and more.
Be sure to get your tickets now.
LINCOLN PARK
Who doesn't like a good laugh? One of Chicago's favorite locations for fun and frivolity is Second City. With an amazing lineup (including Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Jim Belushi and more) just released this week, tickets are going to be at a premium for the event billed as "The Second City Alumni: One Night Only."
The show will be staged in both of Second City's mainstage and e.t.c. theaters. Tickets go on sale Thursday morning at 10am and will cost $125. Be sure to call early if you want to get tickets because the only show is at 7 pm with the late night slot being private for alumnae only.
LOOP
According to its website, Block 37 is a premier development encompassing an entire city block bordered by State, Randolph, Dearborn and Washington streets in the heart of Chicago's downtown Loop. Block 37 will have direct access from the City's Pedway as well as the CTA Red Line and Blue Line subway system.
The Block 37 building continues to build its resident listings. With new leases totaling 20,700 square feet and featuring tenants such as Sephora, Michelle Tan, Claudia Kleiner Malabar Collection, Simply Thalia, iCandylicious, and more.
Developer Joseph Freed & Associates LLC remains optimistic about filling the 280,000 square foot shopping center. In a recent press release the developer states that Block 37 is "on track to open this new shopping and entertainment destination for consumers before Thanksgiving and to complete Block 37 by the end of 2010."
GOLD COAST
Gentlemen it's now time to update your wardrobe and move out of the t-shirt and jeans look. Local store, aptly named Haberdash, has undergone a complete makeover and is offering new looks to men who want to update their wardrobe.
Of particular note, the shop now carries everything from dress socks to office-ready Hugo Boss suits and even its own exclusive line of vintage-inspired button-downs.
Be sure to stop by the newly remodeled location with its men's club feel and urban chic inventory.
EVANSTON
What if you could write your own story based on illustration only? At the Evanston Public Library in the children's section you can now visit the "Imagination Library" for just that.
On the second and third floors of the library you will see 75 original paintings, sketches and drawings accompanied by a description of what the illustrator envisioned for the story - but the story itself is left up to the imagination of the viewer.
Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Garret, Associate Librarian for Special Libraries at Northwestern, Evanston Public Library was able to showcase the international exhibit which has already appeared in Japan, Greece, and Iran.
