  • The Gateway Theater Logan Square
    Newsletter – January 2017 Number XXV A Gorgeous Garden of Dreams: The Gateway Theater Logan Square This past year, the Northwest Chicago Historical Society was proud that Jefferson Park and Portage Park were chosen to showcase venues in Open House Chicago, an annual architectural festi- val organized by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Multiple establishments on the Northwest side opened their door for the very first time to host curious guests from all over the country. The venues included the Copernicus Center, Carl Schurz High School, the Jefferson Masonic Temple, the Rivoli Theater, Our Lady of Victory, Portage Arts Lofts, and the Portage Theater. Over 100,000 people partici- pated this year, making it one of the largest events of its kind in the world. We hope that we are able to continue to bring more people into the area to visit our historical and cultural heritage. In our most recent newsletter issues, members were most excited about the movie theater pic- tures, so this issue continues on that theme. This time, we feature the Kobelinski Theater, a theater inside the Copernicus Center that has been redeveloped into a cultural venue and multi-event complex. At one time, this was called the Gateway Theater, and it was the largest movie palaces on the Northwest Side. Since the Copernicus Center purchased the Gateway, they transformed the lobby and outside mar- quee to be more reflective of its current usage. However, the community is fortunate that they saved the theater from the wrecking ball and have beautifully preserved the historic, decorative interior. While the venue now is mostly used for live performances, the center also hosts many multi-cultural and neighbor- hood events.

Our longstanding partnership demonstrates the enormous possibilities for the world when two strong and independent nations unite in common purpose and in common cause - Donald Trump, President of the United States of America Washington, June 13, 2019 There will be more American troops in Poland. This is going to be an enhanced cooperation. It's going to be an enduring presence, which hopefully will increase gradually in terms of the number of troops, but also in terms of infrastructure which is very important - Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland Editorial Dear Readers, he ninth issue of the quarterly opens with an article about the infrastructure project of strategic imperative for Poland – the construction of the Solidarity Transport Hub Central Airport. In the piece by the TSecretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for the Central Communication Port, Minister Mikołaj Wild maintains that the project is a development impulse for Poland and Central Eastern Europe. The author emphasizes the construction of the port would enable an increase in passenger and cargo potential and would situate Poland on the leading passenger and freight routes, which has considerable importance for economic development and security of the region. In another part of the issue, the predicaments faced by the European Union are examined considering its internal challenges, such as a new composition of the European Parliament and European Commission, and external challenges – including the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.

  • Jefferson Park, Chicago
    Jefferson Park, Chicago seankeenehan.wordpress.com /2012/12/10/jefferson-park-chicago/ Posted by sean keenehan Art and community involvement thrive together to boost spirits on Chicago’s Northwest Side By Sean Keenehan CHICAGO: When residents begin to feel that their voices are not being heard and their ideas ignored, complacency can often overtake a strong neighborhood. Sometimes a neighborhood just needs a good wake-up call and that is exactly what has recently happened in the Jefferson Park neighborhood. Jefferson Park, along with Portage Park, Norwood Park, Gladstone Park and the Mayfair area, is a neighborhood that falls within the 45th Ward on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Ideally located in close proximity to two major expressways, including Interstate 90 and I- 94, and plenty of public transportation, as the intermodal Jefferson Park Transit Center at 4917/4963 N. Milwaukee Ave. contains the CTA Blue Line, a CTA bus terminal and the An intermodal transportion mecca that houses the CTA Blue LIne, CTA bus terminal and elevated Metra Union Pacific/Northwest Line, Jefferson Park is a full-fledged Metra Union Pacific/Northwest Line, located transportation hub. just above Interstate 90 Expressway, offers easy access to pubic transportation. Although it is very convenient for commuters to get in and out of Jefferson Park, the community of Jefferson Park itself offers much more to residents and visitors than just easy access to public transportation. “We have our own police station, we have a library, we have a firehouse, we have a post office,” said Brian Nadig, co-publisher of Nadig Newspapers, currently the Northwest Side of Chicago’s only local newspaper, located at 4937 N.
