Just within the border of Rogers Park, the Granada Theatre served the Uptown and Edgewater communities as well. The shameful demise of this magnificent movie palace in 1990 underscores the urgency facing the Uptown Theatre, the last movie palace on the North Side of Chicago.
The Uptown Village Restaurant, also known as Uptown Gardens, was located at 4822 N. Broadway, next door to the Uptown Theatre. Many famous Chicago bands of the 1920s and 1930s played here, and the performances were broadcast over WMAQ. Image courtesy CRCC collection.
