In what's making to be an extremely cool development for this area, the Patio theater has partnered with the Chicago Cinema Society to start showing independent and foreign movies. Upcoming screenings include Foo Fighter Dave Grohl's Sound City and the Chinese noir kung fu action flick Dragon. Of course your Hollywood faves will still be shown at budget prices.
In other promising news DNAInfo, in their Norwood/Jefferson/Portage Park edition, reports that the Chicago Rapid Transit Coalition and Ald. Arena (45th) are pushing to have a Blue Line stop built at Nagle (Narragansett) and Bryn Mawr. This stop was quashed when the Blue Line was originally built because of resident's fear of bla...er, crime. As the great bard once said, "the times, they are a-changin'." Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves here just yet.
Access to public transportation is generally proven to be an economic plus for an area, e.g., Rockwell Corridor. This is especially true today with gasoline and parking becoming more and more expensive.
