✨ Inside Chicago’s Uptown Theatre for the first time in 45 years! ✨

Hidden in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood is one of the most breathtaking historic movie palaces in America. And thanks to Open House Chicago 2026, I finally got to see inside! 😭

🎭 Welcome to the legendary Uptown Theatre!

Opened on August 18, 1925, with a grand parade, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Rapp & Rapp in the lavish Spanish Baroque Revival style.

With 4,381 seats, magnificent chandeliers, sweeping staircases, intricate carvings, and even a perfume system beneath the seats, this wasn’t just a movie theater. It was a MOVIE PALACE. 👑

After closing in 1981, the Uptown Theatre has remained shuttered for 45 years. Today, restoring this Chicago landmark is estimated to cost a staggering $190 MILLION.

📸 Here’s what makes this footage so special: Photography was originally prohibited during Open House Chicago. However, when we visited on Sunday, theater staff allowed and encouraged us to take photos and videos to spread awareness about this extraordinary building and its need for restoration.

And after seeing it with my own eyes, I understand why. They simply don’t build places like this anymore.

Chicago has some of the most beautiful architecture in the world, and the Uptown Theatre deserves its second act. ❤️

Would you visit the Uptown Theatre if it reopened? 🎬

I’m technically not supposed to be up here… but I know a guy. 🤫🏙️

Come with me for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Pittsfield Building in downtown Chicago!

Built in 1927, this iconic Chicago skyscraper is an Art Deco and Gothic Revival masterpiece featuring a breathtaking five-story atrium, intricate marble details, and nearly 100 years of fascinating history. And thanks to Tom, aka @skyscraperguy , I got to explore areas normally closed to the public, including the rooftop! 👀

✨ Want to see inside the Pittsfield Building yourself?

During Open House Chicago 2026, you can explore designated areas of this architectural gem for FREE!

📍 Pittsfield Building | 55 E. Washington St., Chicago
📅 October 17–18, 2026

Six months of being on my best behavior… allegedly. 😇✈️

Officially OFF probation and harder to fire! 🎂😂

Same personality. Same unhinged humor. Just a little more job security. 💅🏼

Here’s to surviving my first six months as a flight attendant! 🥂

Chicago is the BEST foodie city and Grand Cru is proof. 🤤✨

I spent the evening at Chicago Gourmet’s Grand Cru tasting incredible dishes from some of Chicago’s top chefs—and I’m STILL thinking about that short rib from Toro. The food, the atmosphere, the skyline… this is exactly why Chicago’s food scene has my heart.

Save this for your Chicago foodie bucket list! 🍽️
