Here we go again 🙁
You could say I was upset when I heard The Alley was closing it’s doors after 39 years…
You could say I was emotionally vested in The Alley…
So I was excited after almost a full year later, owner Mark Thomas reopened one of my favorite places on the planet.
He so giveth, also taketh away as Mark has announced The Alley store and cafe at 3221 N. Clark St. is expected to close around Halloween.
“It is still a very hands-on daily business that I found to be too challenging,” Thomas wrote in an email announcing the closure.
Thomas has suffered from health problems in recent years, necessitating the close, he said. He wants to one day find a “younger, healthier” partner to carry on Alley’s “strong, loved” tradition in a brick-and-mortar business.
More from Block Club Chicago HERE.
RIP. again.

“Jumpsuit” has already been covered….by a three-year old.
The young fan of TØP did a pretty detailed recreation of the band’s music video — I mean, look: he even has someone in red chasing him around — and his mother decided to post it for the world to enjoy.

Chicago’s own John C. Reily once again teams up with his ‘Stepbrother’ Will Ferrell for a fresh comedic take on the covered territory of Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson. The characters who solve crimes in olde tyme England have been portrayed through the years in many different ways and most recently in action-driven movies starring Robert Downey Jr. This new one looks pretty silly and playful, lending itself to Ferrell and Reily’s chemistry for the ridiculousness in any situation.
This reoccurring bit on ‘Conan’ is one of my favorites in the wide competitive field of late night comedy with Conan O’Brien and his team giving out awards to auidences members based of celebrities or odd people they resemble. It’s like he’s randomly roasting people and the whole segment you have to assume is put together as the audience is seated before the show starts taping which makes it so clever and biting when the jokes hit.
Yes, it’s time to dull out awards in the sitting arts. I almost thought Conan said “let’s get it sharted” but I am not sure.
Conan will bring his alternative brand of humor to Chicago Theater on November 28th with must-see acts Ron Funches, Deon Cole, and Laurie Kilmartin.
While you are here, check out Conan O’Brien’s first episode hosting his original NBC show, ‘Late Night’ in 1993.

Beer, brats, bands, and all things Bavarian take over the streets outside St. Alphonsus Church, with nightly craft beer tastings held inside the church’s very own beer hall. Yes, you heard that right. BEER HALL!
Pull out the lederhosen! One of Chicago’s most popular celebrations of fall and all things Bavarian — Oktoberfest Chicago at St. Alphonsus — returns for its 17th year of seasonal revelry. Oktoberfest at St. Alphonsus has grown tremendously since its inception, expanding from a parking lot in West Lakeview into Southport and neighboring streets for 3 days of beer, brats, bands, and all things Bavarian. The ever popular Craft Beer Night takes place Friday and Saturday evenings in the parish’s festive German Beer Hall, and two stages host some of Chicago’s favorite festival bands including 16 Candles, Polkaholics, and American English.
Kinderfest is available for family-friendly fun on Saturday and Sunday until 5:00 PM.
Friday: 5 – 10 PM
Saturday: 11 AM – 10 PM
Sunday: 11 AM – 7 PM
