Eddie Carranza of Chicago owns this theatre too. This is a nice old building in Logan Square and has had many booze and drug related events in the past. It hosts mainly music acts and this place just had their alcohol licence taken away. Eddie is looking to sell the congress theatre as it is forced to renovate and repair its interior to get it up to code. I don't tknow who the past aldermen were for this ward but apparently the Congress theatre was allowed to get away with alot of shit in the past. No longer. It appears the city wants to do away with these trashy owners and acts that draw nothing but youth into underage drinking and drugs. Nightclubs have to go and especially ones that are in neighborhoods where the residents don't even go to. These clubs like Aragon and Congress bring in bored teenagers and trouble to a community. I would love to see this theatre closed down and turned into condos. The noise and scum brought into Milwaukee Avenue by this place over the years gets more disturbing the older I get. This is a neighborhood where the only people over thirty are cops or the post man. Chicago is not only segregated by race but alarmingly by age and this neighborhood and location is perhaops the clearest indication of it. One of the reasons older people avoid Logan Square is because of the trash and drinking and drugs that areas like this seem to promote. It will be a better place when Congress and owners like Eddie Carranza are done.
