A beloved Chicago theater could be getting a second act. 🎬✨ The 106-year-old Portage Theater in Portage Park has been vacant for about a decade, but a new restoration project is hoping to bring it back to life within the next year. The plans include restoring its iconic marquee, upgrading the interior, adding a music-themed bar and creating a Walk of Fame honoring artists who have sold out the venue. The restored space could host concerts, movies, live performances, markets and community events.

The project is now fundraising toward a $3 million goal to help make the restoration happen. Would you be excited to see the Portage Theater open again? 👀 (📷 Photo by Zol87 via Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA)
