State preservation projects honored For The Edge Nine outstanding preservation efforts from across the state will be honored next month

by Landmarks Illinois, a statewide group that advocates for the protection of historic properties.

This year ’s award winners tell a unique story about Illinois’ history – a story that stretches from an immigrant religious colony in the western Illinois prairie to a historic brewery on the edge of northern Illinois’ Rock River. An iconic mansion built in the 1880s is juxtaposed with a converted public housing project opened in the 1980s, along with a modest one-room dome home in southern Illinois and a 241-room luxury hotel on Michigan Avenue. This year ’s winning projects and people represent the state’s diversity, but they are all linked by a common goal: to honor Illinois’ heritage and preserve its historic treasures.

“This has been an extraordinary year for preservation in Illinois,” said Bonnie McDonald, president of Landmarks Illinois.

“Increasingly, building owners and developers are recognizing that the preservation and reuse of notable architecture not only enhances the beauty of the state, but also can significantly improve the vibrancy and livability of our neighborhoods, fostering civic pride, community involvement, and additional reinvestment.”

Each winner will receive a Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Award— which includes $500 and a distinctive trophy – at a special ceremony on October 17 at Venue One in Chicago. The award-winners are: Bishop Hill Heritage Association, Bishop Hill – Stewardship The Bishop Hill Heritage Association (BHHA) was founded in 1962 to preserve and promote the history of the Bishop Hill Colony, a utopian commune settled by Swedish immigrants in 1846. BHHA has been a faithful steward of four buildings in the historic district. Over the last five years, the association has undertaken extensive renovations of most of these buildings, including the 1853 Colony Store, the 1854 Steeple Building, and the 1855 Dairy Building.

In total, BHHA has raised and invested more than $700,000 in rehabilitating these three historic buildings.

Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, Chicago – Rehabilitation Development firm AJ Capital Partners meticulously renovated the Venetian Gothic Chicago Athletic Association building designed by Henry Ives Cobb in 1893. The project included restoring the building’s ornamental plaster and Carrera marble flooring, constructing a breath-taking rooftop deck, and updating the building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing and A/V systems. Ultimately, the project team transformed the iconic building, which formerly housed a private athletic club for Chicago’s elites, into a 241-room boutique hotel with a stylish restaurant, bar, game room, and rooftop lounge. Prior to being purchased and renovated by AJ Capital, the Athletic Association building had twice appeared on Landmarks Illinois’s “Most Endangered Historic Places” list. This project not only restored a beautiful, iconic building on Chicago’s most traveled street but also opened the spectacular space to the general public for the first time.

Dorchester Art + Housing Collaborative, Chicago – Project of the Year Led by Theaster Gates Jr.’s Rebuild Foundation, architect Catherine Baker of Landon Bone Baker and Brinshore Development’s Peter Levani, this remarkable initiative reused the townhouses of an abandoned public housing development in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, converting the blighted block into a cultural hub featuring an active and popular Art Center and 32 mixed-income rental units, including spaces reserved for working artists. Not only did this project transmute a neighborhood worthy of preservation, it has transformed a neglected

Restoration of the 1855 Dairy Building in Bishop Hill. neighborhood into a lively community replete with safe and affordable housing, an incubator for the arts and a community space for Grand Crossing residents. Fuller Dome Home, Carbondale – Restoration Built in 1960, the “Bucky” Dome Home is named for its designer and original owner R. Buckminster Fuller. A theorist, architect, inventor, and longtime Southern Illinois University professor, Fuller patented the design for the geodesic dome in 1954. He envisioned the dome as a model for durable, affordable, accessible, and efficient housing.

The prefabricated dome home was assembled on a concrete foundation over a period of seven hours on April 19, 1960. Bucky and his wife, Anne Hewlett Fuller, resided in the home until 1972, distinguishing this national and local landmark as the only geodesic dome Bucky lived in full-time.

After falling into disrepair, the Bucky Dome Home was donated to the RBF Dome NFP in 2002. With a National Park Service Save America’s Treasures Grant, the non-profit organization rehabilitated the dome’s exterior.

The rehabilitation included reroofing the Dome and restoring the structure’s original geometry. According to the RBF Dome NFP, the exterior restoration of the Fuller Dome Home represents an important first step in establishing the R. Buckminster Fuller Museum. RBF Dome NFP envisions the museum as a hub and intellectual incubator space for scholars, architects, and designers in southern Illinois.

Glessner House Museum, Chicago – President’s Award for Stewardship Saving the Glessner House from a ruinous state in the 1960s is only the beginning of this museum’s story. For fifty years, the Glessner House Museum has cared for and interpreted the legacy of this 1887 Henry Hobson Richardson masterpiece on Chicago’s famed Prairie Avenue. Glessner House Museum has been a model steward of the property, initiating a number of restoration projects that continue to move the home closer to its original grandeur. Most recently, GHM restored the mansion’s parlor, guest bedroom, and guest bathroom, projects that involved meticulously reproducing historic draperies as well as intricate, hand-painted canvas wall coverings.

The museum will soon install a new geothermal system, allowing the staff to control heat and humidity levels for the first time and bringing 21st century technology to bear on this 19th century home. Through its ongoing stewardship of the Gilded Age mansion, the Glessner House Museum has established itself as a national model for preservation groups and historic house museums.

Downtown Jacksonville Turnaround, Jacksonville – Advocacy Hoping to reverse a decline that began in the 1970s, Jacksonville’s citizens joined together to found the Jacksonville Main Street foundation in 1999. Jacksonville Main Street (JMS) has been dedicated to revitalizing and restoring the historical feel of the city’s downtown. Specifically, JMS has supported the removal of non-historic buildings and storefront façades, the improvement of infrastructure and landscaping, and the installation of speakers, lighting, and other amenities in the town square. The Downtown Jacksonville Turnaround project culminated in May 2015 with the completion of a six-year, $14 million project that increased traffic flow around the town square and returned parking to the front of retail shops.

The Downtown Jacksonville Turnaround project has had a tremendous impact on the local economy. After more than fifteen years of effort, Jacksonville Main Street has inspired sixty-five property owners to undertake their own rehabilitation projects, spurring more than $35 million in public and private investments. Forty businesses have either expanded their existing operations along or relocated their businesses to the town square, driving vacancy rates down from a high of 27% to less than 5%. More than 170 jobs have been created since the project began. Thousands of people again flock to Jacksonville’s town square for its retail shops and special events.

Laurent House Foundation, Rockford – Advocacy + ADA 25 Award In 1949, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Laurent House for Kenneth Laurent, a paraplegic World War II veteran, and his wife Phyllis. Wright strove to accommodate his client’s disability and personal dignity without sacrificing design. The resulting house is an ingenious marriage of accessibility with Wright’s Usonian principles. Equally remarkable, Frank Lloyd Wright’s thoughtful and accessible design predates the Americans with Disabilities Act by more than three decades. Kenneth and Phyllis remained in the home until 2011 when they placed the property and its Wright-designed furnishings up for auction.

Faced with the possibility of losing an architectural treasure that Frank Lloyd Wright proudly called his “little gem,” a group of concerned Rockford citizens rallied together to form the Laurent House Foundation. LHF moved to purchase, restore, and reopen the residence as a historic house museum. In a single month, the group raised more than $1 million from city, state, and county governments as well as a number of corporations, organizations, and private

citizens. LHF immediately began restoring the Laurent House, installing a new roof, repairing the home’s structure, restoring the concrete floors, and refinishing its interior woodwork. The foundation also updated the home’s mechanical and security systems without modifying its unique aesthetic. The Laurent House Museum opened in 2014.

Mike Jackson, Springfield – Joe Antunovich Award for Leadership Over his forty-year career, Mike Jackson has established himself as one of the leading advocates for historic preservation in the state. From 1983 to 2013, Jackson served in the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, most notably as its chief architect and later as the manager of Preservation Services. During his time at IHPA, Jackson provided guidance for the rehabilitation and restoration of some of the state’s most recognizable buildings, including the Tribune Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Dana-Thomas House, the Rookery, and the Reliance Building.

Outside of his work with IHPA, Jackson has spearheaded a number of national preservation initiatives, including: Recent Past, which encourages the preservation of mid- to late-twentieth century buildings; Green Preservation, which trumpets historic preservation as a form of sustainable building; and Upstairs Downtown, which provides a roadmap for reviving previously unused spaces on the upper floors of historic buildings. Jackson has taught at both Columbia University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, educating and mentoring a new generation of preservation architects.

Prairie Street Brewhouse, Rockford – Rehabilitation Constructed on the edge of the Rock River between 1857 and 1922, the Prairie Street Brewhouse originally served as the home of the Rockford Brewing Company. Loyd and Diane Koch purchased the imposing building in 2000. After a decade of planning, the Kochs began an extensive rehabilitation project to return the building to its roots as a brewery while transforming it into one of Rockford’s premier entertainment and social venues. The Prairie Street Brewhouse now serves as a mixed-used space that houses a brewery, banquet hall, restaurant, office space, and residential lofts.

The Prairie Street Brewhouse draws hundreds of people to downtown Rockford and the riverfront daily, helping to revitalize the city’s downtown area. As one of the first projects to utilize the Illinois State Historic Tax Credit, the Prairie Street Brewhouse also illustrates the importance of the pilot program in stimulating private investment in historic preservation.

World War I art exhibit open

War looks different, before you’re in it.

In 1914, as Europe lumbered optimistically to battle, a proxy fight was joined in the pages of popular media. Combatant nations, seeking cultural as well as military dominance, deployed visual propaganda to rally support and attack enemies. Yet as the death toll mounted, a generation of artists, many of whom served in uniform, sought new artistic languages to convey the grief and horror they had witnessed.

This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “World War I: War of Images, Images of War.” Drawn primarily from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, where it debuted in fall 2014, the exhibition features more than 150 objects that together chart a chronological path from exuberant outbreak through years of grinding combat and into the long, unsettled aftermath.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 4.

Included are paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, illustrated journals, correspondence from the front and other materials by artists such as Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger and Kazimir Malevich.

War of Images The exhibition opens with “War of Images,” which explores how different nations sought to elevate their own cultural symbols while denigrating the supposed national traits — German barbarism, British imperialism, French decadence, Russian cowardice — of opponents.

French artist Jean Cocteau, whose health prevented enlistment but who later drove a Red Cross ambulance, co-founded the journal Le Mot (“The Word”) with designer Paul Iribe. The cover of their second issue depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German hero Lohengrin, but wittily replaces the knight’s legendary swan boat with a red, grasping crayfish.

Conversely, the German magazine Simplicissimus, a longtime government critic, now voiced patriotic support. A striking cover from October 1914 — by Thomas Theodor Heine, who’d once been jailed for caricaturing the Kaiser — shows a colonial Englishman, pith helmet ajar, clutching precariously at a bloodsoaked globe.

Other works play on visual codes such as the Russian bear and the French Marianne. A series of rarely seen images by avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, modeled on popular Russian prints known as lubki, depict idealized peasants in traditional costume fearlessly routing enemy troops.

CAULK’S

Images of War But for witnesses on the ground, arguments about cultural superiority quickly paled. “Images of War,” the exhibition’s second section, collects artworks, letters, diaries and other firstperson accounts that demonstrate the yawning gap between rhetoric and the reality of battle.

Symbolist Henry de Groux, who fled Belgium just ahead of German invasion, captures the air of menace with his dark and swirling “Grenade Thrower,” from the series “Le visage de la victoire” (1914-16). In “The Trench” (1915-16), Swiss-born artist Félix Vallotton depicts a line of French soldiers, only helmets and bayonets visible, as the earth explodes behind them.

A never-before-exhibited war diary by futurist Umberto Boccioni, who died in 1916, details a tumultuous period on the Italian front. The expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who was deeply scarred by his time in the German Army — and whom, decades later, the Nazi’s would brand a “degenerate artist” — drew the Apocalypse on the backs of cigarette boxes.

Also included are rare examples of handmade “trench art,” with which soldiers memorialized their units and the battles they fought. These range from painted helmets and an engraved canteen to small objects made from shell casings.

Aftermath The final section, “Aftermath,” opens with celebrations of armistice and photographs of jubilant French crowds. Yet even for Allies, victory was pyrrhic. Fernand Léger, who barely survived mustard gas, fills his illustrations for Blaise Cendrars’ “J’ai tué” (“I Have Killed”) (1918) with rifles, helmets and fractured war matériel.

The Germans Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz spent years coming to terms with their experiences, with Dix in particular returning obsessively to the subject. In addition to several prints, the exhibition features recordings, made in 1963, in which Dix discusses his time as a machine-gunner on the Western front.

But the costs of combat are not paid by soldiers alone. Käthe Kollwitz’s son, Peter, was a student in Berlin when fighting began. He quickly enlisted and died in Flanders — the first of his regiment to fall. A decade later, the grieving mother completed “Seven Woodcuts about the War” (1924), a searing testament to the anguish of those left behind. As Kollwitz would write to one of Peter’s comrades, himself later killed at Verdun: “There is in our lives a wound which will never heal. Nor should it.”

“World War I: War of Images, Images of War” is organized by the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Works are drawn primarily from the Getty archives, with loans from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Washington University’s Modern Graphic History Library; and private collections.

The St. Louis iteration features additional works from the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Kemper Art Museum and local private collections. It is curated by Karen K. Butler, associate curator of the Kemper Art Museum.

An opening reception will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept.

11. The exhibition will remain on view through Jan. 4, 2016.

The Kemper Art Museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. the first Friday of the month. The museum is closed Tuesdays.

"Everest"

"Everest" is not an easy movie to watch. No entertainment that contains such tragedy should be.

The truly breathtaking spectacle and technical achievements can make you feel like you too are on a vertical slope at 29,000 feet. But this awe-inspiring movie is also one that's laced with dread, little triumph and even less perspective as you wait, with a knotted stomach, for the disasters to manifest.

"Everest" recounts the events of, and leading up to, May 10, 1996, when a series of controversial decisions and a heap of bad luck led to the deaths of 8 climbers — then the deadliest day in Everest history.

It is not, however, based on the most famous account, journalist Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air." It's an amalgamation of stories, reports and never-before-heard tapes from the day, focused mostly though on Adventure Consultants lead Rob Hall (Jason Clarke), and Texan climber Beck Weathers (Josh Brolin).

Krakauer is a character in "Everest," ("House of Cards'" Michael Kelly), but a peripheral, underdeveloped one. His presence as a journalist covering the expedition frames the growing tension between customer service and safety inherent in the commercialization of adventure. The script also uses him as a "why climb" observer. He can bluntly ask what the audience is thinking, and he does at one point. The scene goes nowhere, though. The other characters crack wise or choose silence, as though the desire to climb Everest is so unexplainable. "Because it's there," they say.

So when a handful of climbers do make it to the peak, it's harder to feel their euphoria. All we can see is looming death.

That's part of the problem of "Everest." All the elements are there, but the emotions never land — even with the inclusion of previously private conversation between Rob Hall and his pregnant wife Jan (Keira Knightley) as his plight atop the mountain becomes direr.

The large ensemble cast is packed with recognizable faces — Clarke, Brolin, John Hawkes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emily Watson, Knightley, Sam Worthington, and on and on. It can be distracting, but perhaps it is the only way to truly orient an audience with who's who. There's not a lot of time to get to know the individuals before their faces are obscured with ski masks and goggles and they're reduced to, and dependent on, our ability to recall the color of their snowsuits.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense peril and disturbing images."

RUNNING TIME: 121 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Black Mass"

Shakespeare had his tortured Hamlet, his ambitious Macbeth, his malevolent Iago, his warring Montagues and Capulets.

But what would the Bard have done with the tale of James "Whitey" Bulger, and all the supporting players around him?

There was Whitey himself, at first a minor criminal who became one of the most feared crime bosses in history, ruling his turf for two decades and evading capture for nearly two more. There was his brother, Billy, who grew up in the same home in the "Southie" section of Boston but became one of the state's most powerful politicians. There were the feuding Boston mob and Bulger's Winter Hill gang. Then the FBI agent whose efforts to gain Bulger's cooperation led to his own undoing.

And the FBI itself, which ended up protecting Bulger for years and facilitating his murderous rise.

Yes, Shakespeare would have had a field day. And so does Hollywood, namely director Scott Cooper and a top-flight ensemble led by Johnny Depp in a performance that reminds us, after a string of uninspiring movies, why he's one of our most compelling actors. Yes, Depp is excellent. But the star attraction here? That's the stunning story itself.

"Black Mass," with a taut and effective screenplay by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth, is based on the book by Boston

On the Edge of the Weekend

Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neil (they make a brief appearance here). It begins with police interviews of Bulger's aging henchmen, then quickly flashes back to 1975. We meet Bulger as he's asserting control of the Winter Hill gang, which is engaged in a bitter turf war with the Angiulo family.

Luckily for Bulger, a childhood friend has arrived back in town — John Connolly, an ambitious FBI agent. Connolly (a terrific Joel Edgerton — and this Aussie nails the Boston accent, too) figures the way to make headway quickly is to bring his old pal into the fold as an informant. He first goes to Billy, a state senator (a fine Benedict Cumberbatch), who coldly rebuffs him. Then he goes directly to Jimmy. "You know what I do to rats, John?" Bulger says at first. Connolly replies: "It ain't rattin,' Jimmy. It's an alliance." When Jimmy agrees, he rationalizes it thusly: "They protect us, and we do whatever the (expletive) we want."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "brutal violence, language throughout, some sexual references and brief drug use."

RUNNING TIME: 122 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Intern"

The world of Nancy Meyers sure is beautiful.

But her studied production design and dreamy interiors have become such a focal point, that they've almost eclipsed her storytelling. It marginalizes what she does, and how she has, from "The Parent Trap" to "It's Complicated," created her own lovely and implausible cottage industry of movies that are, for the most part, exceedingly pleasant to watch.

She tells stories about divorce, affairs, and later life loves, using wit and humor that is somehow blue and sassy, but also innocent. Meyers is one of the more retro writer-directors working today.

"The Intern," her first film in six years, is a curious case, melding together those modern retro sensibilities in a way that even further distances her work from reality. This is not a love story, though. It's a workplace tale about a smiley, unflappable 70-year-old retiree Ben (Robert De Niro) who goes to intern for the 30-something CEO of an online retail startup.

With only the most polite issues peppering the plot, it's less a study of generational conflict and more of a series of loosely connected events about a guardian angel sent out of retirement to tell Anne Hathaway that she really can have it all.

Ben's adjustment to working with all these kids might be the hook, but Jules Ostin (Hathaway) is the centerpiece and heart of the movie. In the past year and a half, she has built an insanely successful clothing business from the ground up and is now juggling a kid, her relationship with her stay-at-home husband, and a board of directors who want to replace her with a more seasoned CEO. She has her quirks. but Jules is neither the prototypical cutesy, clumsy comedy heroine nor the passionless executive who just needs to loosen up. In fact, Jules isn't a type at all.

Hathaway plays her as serious, wise, playful, and insecure.

Every time you think she might descend into caricature, Hathaway pulls back and grounds Jules.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some suggestive content and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME:: 121 minutes.

"The Martian"

Without Matt Damon, the solitary fight for survival on Mars would be lonely indeed. Alone on screen for most of his scenes as an astronaut stranded on the red planet, the Oscarnominated actor is the winning heart of Ridley Scott's epic space adventure, "The Martian."

October 8, 2015

With Damon's charm center stage, Scott has crafted an exciting, hopeful story about humanity at its best: The brightest minds working together for a common goal that bridges international borders and forges a feeling of unity.

Affable and intelligent, playful and determined, Damon's Mark Watney is so endearing and entertaining as a narrator and subject, it's easy to see why the world would want to save him.

The story begins with Watney accidentally left behind during a NASA mission to Mars. When a fierce storm forces an emergency evacuation from the planet, he disappears in the chaos and is presumed dead. He isn't, of course, and as his fellow astronauts mourn him during their months-long journey back to Earth and NASA officials struggle with how to explain his death to the public, Watney wakes up, injured and alone.

But he's incredibly optimistic and resilient. He fixes his wound with minor surgery and immediately goes about prolonging his survival, knowing it could be years before a manned spacecraft returns to Mars. He puts his skills as a botanist and engineer to work, devising a way to grow crops in the arid soil and make water by burning hydrogen. He rewires old equipment from a past Mars mission in hopes of communicating with NASA. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some strong language, injury images, and brief nudity."

RUNNING TIME: Running time: 141 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"The Walk"

Can a great third act make a great film? Conventional wisdom would say no. It's silly to spell out, but beginnings and middles are important, too.

But if you're going to nail one section, the end isn't a bad place to start. The audience leaves invigorated, and, in a best case scenario, has already forgotten the slog it took to get there.

"The Walk," a fictionalized rendering of Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire stroll between the World Trade Center towers, doesn't entirely disprove the rule, but it certainly makes a seductive case.

Director Robert Zemeckis and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski have made a truly extraordinary and breathtaking 40 minutes of cinema, preceded by a mostly forgettable, cloyingly whimsical hour and change.

The stunt, which the gang refers to as "the coup," is one for the cinematic ages. Zemeckis and Wolski take the camera to unprecedented angles to make you feel like you are really standing between the 110 story towers. It's an undeniable, sweaty-palmed thrill walking above the clouds with Petit (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), full of tension and triumph.

The final sequence could have been enough for a film, but "The Walk" is more conventional than it might seem.

It languishes for too long on origins of Petit's obsession with wire-walking and the high rise towers, playing up his quirkiness and eccentricities for whimsy, not the story.

The beginning is shot like a fever dream of top hats, circus tents and unicycles. And, of course, there are the requisite underdeveloped characters — a curmudgeonly mentor (Ben Kingsley) and supportive girlfriend (Charlotte Le Bon) — to accompany him along the way.

Gordon-Levitt, sporting fake blue eyes and a thick French accent, embraces the manic showiness and near sociopathy of Petit — an artist with complete tunnel vision. It's an interesting, all-out performance that still doesn't go much deeper than surface level.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, brief drug references and smoking."

Hathaway plays her as serious, wise, playful, and insecure. Every time you think she might descend into caricature, Hathaway pulls back and grounds Jules.

Her unusually developed character has the somewhat adverse effect of exaggerating Ben's one-note, but charming simplicity.

Ben spent his entire career at a factory that made phonebooks. He was married, now he's widowed, retired and bored of it. De Niro plays him as so nice, and so cuddly that he's almost alien. He is the grandpa from "Up" without the edge, here to tell millennial men to stop dressing like little boys, to carry handkerchiefs because ladies cry, to stay at work until the boss leaves, and to talk to, not text, romantic prospects.

Beyond a flirtation with the office masseuse (Rene Russo), Ben has nowhere to grow. He's set in his perfectly PC retro-modern ways, just there to help everyone — especially Jules.

It's an odd relationship with few actual revelations. That's because there's no big

conflict. Jules says she doesn't really like old people, and at one point worries that Ben knows too much about her, but those all dissolve without much ceremony.

There are of course some other issues that Jules and Ben must deal with, but even those are minor. Nothing is ever that wrong in the Meyers-verse. It might not be a life you recognize from reality, but is the one that we fantasize about thanks to magazines and movies like this.

It can be cloying at times, but the disconnected timelessness of it all is all the more reason for Meyers to keep doing her own thing as long as she can. She doesn't speak to what's trendy in filmmaking. Aside from the technology, "The Intern" could have just as easily existed in 1990.

Still, in keeping everything so polite, "The Intern," while being a pleasant and watchable movie, is also entirely ephemeral. Maybe that's why, like Meyers' other films, "The Intern" will likely be so re-watchable, too.

"Hotel Transylvania 2" a hit with kids

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge If you really want to see an animated children's film as it's best designed, I suggest you to see it through the eyes of a child.

Always curious to supplement my movie-going knowledge base, I enlisted two (of my three) cute nieces to join me early Saturday morning for a showing of "Hotel Transylvania 2" and I think they loved it. Truth be told, the younger one is often impressed far more than is necessary, but never lets on. The older one is a healthy skeptic and I encourage that in her, especially when the titles are weak. We stocked up on popcorn and settled in just in time to see some appropriately timed ads for a Disney Princess makeup kit and

movies like "The Secret Life of Pets" and "Goosebumps". Fall is a great time for family product, I note, and the lights dim in front of a movie that is expected to (and ultimately will) deliver the highest opening weekend gross for any film opening in September. Its target is its own predecessor from 2012.

With Halloween approaching far quicker than seems logical, it's a great time for the Adam Sandler Crew to bring back their shtick featuring the great movie monsters of the past in a semimodern setting. After seeing his daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez), marry a human, Jonathan (Andy Samberg), Dracula (Sandler) turns to running his hotel for small comfort. Father's little dividend comes soon, though, in the form of Dennis (Asher Blinkoff), the

grandson that Drac needs to feel like his old self. He doesn't hound Dennisovitch about turning into a vampire, but the worry increases as he gets closer to age five, the time when the transition is expected to take place, if at all. Comedy legend Mel Brooks voices Vlad, Dennis's grand-grandfather who instantly disapproves of having a halfhuman in the family. Jonathan's parents (real life married couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally) from C alifornia are equally disapproving.

There's nothing particularly revelatory about the movie, but the sincere care that Sandler uses to voice his role is evident. It's also the same reason people keep going to see his movies. He might cast all of his friends (David

S p a d e , R o b S c h n e i d e r, K e v i n James) over and over, but there's a nobility in taking care of the ones that take care of you. Anyone who has seen an interview with Sandler knows that money - and he has plenty of it - is nothing compared to the time you can spend with your family. The voice cameos were fantastic. The recently embattled CeeLo Green has been replaced as the voice of Murray the Mummy by hero of the day Keegan-Michael Key. My personal favorite was Dana Carvey in the role of an ironic camp counselor. There's plenty of throwaway humor in this movie for the adults, but the best reason to go watch it is to spend some time with your own family.

So how do kids like "Hotel Transylvania 2"? My blue ribbon

October 8, 2015

panel liked that they talked about unicorns numerous times, something we'd coincidentally been talking about heading into the show. They got a kick out of Dennis's thick, curly red hair (like their cousin) and that he had the same name as their grandpa.

They sang along to songs in the movie that I couldn't even understand and were dancing in their seats during the raucous closing credits. I aged out of this genre far later than I expected to, but far longer ago than I care to admit. It's nice to having a differing perspective and I hope the girls remember it.

"Hotel Transylvania 2" runs 89 minutes and is rated PG for some scary images, action, and rude humor. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

Religion People planner Police: Fights break out at funeral of More than 2 million Muslims in former gang member Saudi start hajj pilgrimage COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police in central Ohio say several large fights broke out at the funeral of a man with known gang ties, leading to a response by about 100 officers.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that police were called Monday to the area around First English Lutheran Church in Columbus. A funeral for 28-year-old Dametrious Edwards was being held there. Edwards had been found dead in a basement Sept. 13. Police haven't said how he died.

Sgt. Rich Weiner says the fights broke out behind the church, and pepper spray was used to break up the melee.

No shots were fired and no officers were hurt.

Weiner says it's not unusual for gang-related funerals to draw attention from rivals because gang members are expected to be among the mourners.

MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — More than 2 million Muslims have started the first rites of the annual hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, which draws people from around the world to the holy city of Mecca to perform a series of rituals and prayers aimed at erasing their sins.

Islam requires all able-bodied Muslims to perform the hajj at least once. It is said to trace the steps of the Prophets Abraham, Ishmael and Muhammad.

In Mecca, pilgrims circle the cube-shaped Kaaba counterclockwise seven times and re-enact the journey of Abraham's wife, Hagar, who Muslims believe ran between two hills searching for water for her dying son. Tradition holds that God then brought forth a spring that runs to this day, and Muslims drink from it during the hajj.

Since arriving in Mecca, hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims have chanted the Arabic words that mean, "Here I am,

Nuns will get rent for convent in Katy Perry dispute

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A businesswoman will continue to pay $25,000 a month in rent plus maintenance expenses on a hilltop convent that Los Angeles' Catholic archbishop wants to sell to pop singer Katy Perry.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant ruled Tuesday that entrepreneur Dana Hollister will make the payments to a small order of elderly nuns while lawsuits over the sale of the multimillion-dollar property are pending.

Hollister wants to use the convent for a hotel and restaurant project. She agreed to buy the property from the Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but Chalfant voided the sale.

Additional court hearings will determine who controls the property's sale.

The full-length ballet, choreographed by Artistic Director Adam Sage, is inspired by the book titled Dracula, which was written by Bram S t o k e r i n 1 8 9 7 . A c c o rd i n g t o Sage, “I created this ballet because it is for me a dark, sensual and tragic love story that is perfect to be brought to life on the stage.” Sage also mentions “I wanted to present something for St. Louis, which would appeal to a wider audience. I believe the audience is in for an evening t h a t p ro m i s e s t o t u g a t y o u r heart, shock your senses and scare the life out of you.”

The ballet tells the story of the events that transpire after Jonathon Harker, a lawyer from England, travels to Transylvania to conduct a business transaction for a vampire named Count Dracula.

The supernatural tale also includes alluring vampire brides, frightening zombies, as well as Jonathon Harker ’s fiancée Mina and her friend Lucy, two young women who fall victim to Dracula.

I m a g i n a t i v e c h o r e o g r a p h y, dramatic dancing, and thrilling special effects will keep the

audience on the edge of their seats during the course of the show.

Tickets for Dracula at Edison Theatre are on sale now for $25.

Seen by over 54 million people around the world, "Mamma Mia!", is celebrating 5,765 performances on Broadway and is the 8th longest running show in Broadway history.

The original West End production of "Mamma Mia!" is now in its seventeenth year and has celebrated over 6,700 performances in London and the international tour has visited more than 81 foreign cities in 37 countries and been seen by over 4.8 million people. The blockbuster feature film adaptation of "Mamma Mia!" is the most successful movie musical of all time grossing $600 million worldwide.

Seen in 49 productions in 17 different languages globally and with a worldwide gross of over $2 Billion, "Mamma Mia!" is acclaimed by the Associated Press as “quite simply, a phenomenon.”

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.

On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” "Mamma Mia!" is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

"Mamma Mia!" is produced by Work Light Productions, whose other touring productions include American Idiot, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, Nice Work If You Can Get It, and Chaplin.

The original production of "Mamma Mia!" was produced

by Judy Craymer, Richard East and Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal, the creative team responsible for bringing "Mamma Mia!" to theatrical life includes some of the most gifted and celebrated talents

of musical theatre and opera.

With music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, "Mamma Mia!" is written by Catherine Johnson and directed

by Phyllida Lloyd. "Mamma Mia!" has choreography by Anthony Van Laast, production design by Mark Thompson, lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material and arrangements by Martin Koch.

Travel Event scheduled at Lake of the Ozarks Old Kinderhook Golf Resort For The Edge The folks at Old Kinderhook Golf Resort and www.BassingBob.com are combining two of the most popular activities at the Lake of the Ozarks - fishing and golf - to create a new, unique annual tournament experience.

The inaugural Missouri Invitational Bass N Golf Championship at Old Kinderhook, presented by Bassing Bob, will take place Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 29‑31, at Old Kinderhook Golf Resort near Camdenton.

This unique pro‑am tournament pairs amateur anglers with 20 of Missouri's best and most celebrated tournament fishermen to compete for a total guaranteed prize pot of $10,000.

Twenty registered amateurs will have the opportunity to fish with Guido Hibdon, winner of the Bassmaster Classic and two‑ time BASS Angler of the year; Dion Hibdon, winner of the Bassmaster Classic and FLW Forrest Wood Cup; Brian Maloney, FLW All‑American National Champion; and Marcus Sykora, FLW All‑American National Champion, just to name a few of the fishing pros participating in the tournament.

This isn't your typical fishing tournament.

There will be action‑packed fishing and afternoon weigh‑ins, but there's another catch: all teams will be paired with a PGA golf pro and play nine holes of golf on Old Kinderhook's Tom Wieskopf‑designed gem of a course.

According to Bob Renken, executive director of Old Kinderhook, it's a great fit.

"The idea of having an event like this has been in my mind for a long time and I'm happy to say all the pieces have come together to make it a reality. It's the perfect way to showcase our new lodge here at Old Kinderhook and the Lake of the Ozarks, which was recently chosen the best recreational lake in the country. We have one of the best bass fisheries in the nation right in our own backyard, as well as world class golf, so why not celebrate both at the same time?"

To help bring the idea to fruition, Renken recruited a couple friends to assist him. The first recruit was one of the Midwest's premier bass fishing promoters, Bob Bueltmann, owner of www.BassingBob.com and publisher of Lake of the Ozarks Fishing News. The second was another local Lake of the Ozarks resident and pro tournament angler, Marcus Sykora.

"I think this is a brilliant idea and it will be

a fantastic event," says Bob Bueltmann. "It's very rare for your average weekend angler or amateur fisherman to have an opportunity to fish with a seasoned professional, much less be able to compete in a tournament alongside and against some of the best in the business."

Bueltmann said the initial response within the fishing community was astounding. "We allotted 20 spots for the amateurs and they were all sold out within three days of making the first announcement of the tournament.

Old Kinderhook and the Lake of the Ozarks are on par with the very best fishing and golf destinations in the country, so everyone is very excited about what will turn out to be a wonderful experience for all the participants."

The event gets underway on Thursday, Oct. 29 with a cocktail reception and sit‑down dinner with all the professionals and amateurs at The Ballroom at Old Kinderhook. The evening's festivities, including the reception and dinner, are open to the public at a cost of $40 per person. Following dinner, there will be live and silent auctions where the 20 participating amateur anglers can bid on their professional tournament partner for the weekend. The live auction will be for the

top‑four national fishing champions: Guido Hibdon, Dion Hibdon, Marcus Sykora and Brian Maloney. The silent auction will take place throughout the evening for the amateurs to bid on the remaining 16 professional anglers.

Fall at the Lake of the Ozarks is often very beautiful and one of the most productive times of the year for fishing.

The tournament officially kicks off at 7 a.m. on Friday morning when the anglers take off from Old Kinderhook's marina to search the waters for hungry bass. Fishing teams will return to Old Kinderhook for a drive‑through fish weigh-in at 1 p.m.

On Friday afternoon, fishing duos will be joined by their randomly placed PGA golf pro for a 3 p.m. shotgun start. The anglers‑ turned‑golfers will then play nine challenging holes at Old Kinderhook, deemed the second best golf course in Missouri by readers of Golf Magazine. Later that evening at Old Kinderhook, beginning at 7 p.m., there will be cocktails, a buffet dinner and bonfire.

The last day of the tournament begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday as the bass boats take to the water for seven hours of fishing. The

final weigh‑in is at 2 p.m. with an awards ceremony to crown the champions at 3 p.m. After the awards ceremony, everyone, including the public, is invited to attend the season opening of Old Kinderhook's outdoor ice rink and Halloween Party.

The payout for the event will be determined by a cumulative points system based on the two‑day total weight of fish caught and a sliding points scale for pars, birdies and eagles during the three‑person golf scramble (a par is worth one point/ pound, birdie is worth two points/pounds and an eagle is worth three points/pounds).

The payout will include cash prizes for the top four teams with a guaranteed $5,000 going to the winning team. There also will be cash prizes for the biggest bass and "closest to the pin."

Sykora, who won the 2014 FLW All‑ American championship on Wilson Lake in Alabama, is proud to be involved with the tournament. "What a true honor it is to be able to plan and participate in such a cool event.

This is an unbelievably stacked tournament and we'll all be excited to test our skills on Lake of the Ozarks, one of the best bass lakes in the nation." Being one of the top‑four champions participating, Sykora is confident the fishing will not disappoint. "I know that no matter who I end up being paired with, we're going to have a great time and we'll look forward to some of the best fishing this lake has to offer. It's one of my favorite times of year to fish."

Special Bass N Golf lodging rates are available at the tournament headquarters, Old Kinderhook. Visit www.OldKinderhook. com for reservations. For more information on the Missouri Invitational Bass N Golf Championship, visit the "tournaments" page on www.BassingBob.com.

The Pro-Am teams will face off for a nine-hole scramble on Old Kinderhook's Tom Weiskopf-designed course, at left, during the afternoon on Friday, Oct. 30.

Music

For the Intelligencer

Above, the Southern Illinois University orchestra. Below, award-winning cellist Sara Sant'Ambrogio.

Allied forces Arts & Issues to present combined orchestras of SIUE and SIUC

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The SIUE and SIUC orchestras will be combining for an exceptional musical performance at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 in the SIUE Dunham Hall Theater as part of the SIUE Arts and Issues season.

The performance, which has sold out in previous years, will feature nationally renowned and Grammy Award‑winning cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio.

Michael Mishra, professor of music and director of orchestral st ud i e s a t S I U E , a n d E d w a rd Benyas, music director of the SIUC Symphony Orchestra, have joined their respective orchestras together the past three years for this rather unique musical event.

Benyas will be conducting Dvorak's Cello Concerto, a p i e c e t h a t w i l l f e a t u re g u e s t cellist Sant'Ambrogio who leapt to international attention when she was a winner at the Eighth I n t e r n a t i o n a l Tc h a i k o v s k y Competition in Moscow, Russia.

Sant'Ambrogio began her cello studies with her father John Sant'Ambrogio, principal cellist of the St. Louis Symphony, and at the age of 16 was invited on full scholarship to study with David Soyer at the Curtis Institute of Music where she received her h i g h s c h o o l d i p l o m a . “ T h re e years later world renowned cellist Leonard Rose invited Ms. Sant'Ambrogio to study at The Julliard School,” Sant'Ambrogio's biography states. “ Wi t h i n

weeks of arriving, she won the a l l ‑ J u i l l i a rd S c h u m a n n C e l l o Concerto Competition, resulting in the first of many performances at Lincoln Center.”

Sant'Ambrogio is also well‑ known as being one of the founders of the popular Eroica Trio which won the prestigious 1991 Naumburg Award, resulting in an acclaimed Lincoln Center

debut and has since extensively toured the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.

As part of an educational component to Sant'Ambrogio's visit, she will give a cello master class to the two university's orchestra cellists.

Following the “Cello Concerto” portion of the Oct. 26

performance, Mishra will step in and conduct Sibelius' Symphony No. 1. Coincidentally this is Sibelius' 150th anniversary year.

“I say "coincidentally" because I only realized this after I picked it,” Mishra noted. “It was not an intentional match.”

Mishra explained that the process behind combining the two orchestras of about 40

October 8, 2015

musicians each is “sort of last minute” with a tight turnaround of rehearsing together on Sunday and performing the following day. “We've been rehearsing s e p a r a t e l y, ” h e n o t e d . “ We basically have sort of a marathon 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday – most of the afternoon and all evening ‑ that is our opportunity to combine.”

Mishra also noted that it's “always an eye opener” at that initial point of coming together.

“You're facing this orchestra that is twice the size of the one you usually have,” he said. “But it's always fun to get together.”

“What I'll often do is go down there (to Carbondale) the week before so I get to rehearse with his orchestra once down in Carbondale,” Mishra added.

“But even doing that it's always an adventure when you combine two orchestras together 24 hours before the concert. It's a very intensive 24 hours.”

After the Edwardsville performance, the two orchestras then travel to Carbondale to perform together Tuesday at the Carbondale campus.

Arts & Issues tickets can be ordered on‑line at artsandissues. com or in‑person at the Morris University Center (MUC) We l c o m e D e s k . T h e M U C Welcome Desk is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Welcome Desk is closed on Sunday.

Music Tuning in The Fox to welcome Gladys Knight, the O'Jays

​G ladys Knight and the O'Jays are coming to St. Louis - together in concert, doing full headlining performances on Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Tickets are $150, $125, $95, $85, $75, $65, $55 and are on sale online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-5341111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seventime Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television and live performance.

In her first effort since 2013’s “Another Journey” – Knight’s 8th solo effort – this summer marked the release of “Where My Heart Belongs”, a new inspiration gospel album. Knight is a twotime Grammy winner in the gospel category and recently won an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Gospel Album.”

“Another Journey” enjoyed success from the hit “I Who Have Nothing” as well as the up tempo track “Settle,” produced by Randy Jackson, with whom she previously collaborated with on her Grammywinning album, “At Last.” Knight also enjoyed the success of her song “You and I Ain’t Nothin’ No More” which appeared over the end credits of the critically acclaimed Lee Daniels film "The Butler."

The O'Jays are touring history, a connection to an era and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. The O’Jays are still hitting the road with the same electrifying energy they’ve had for over 50 years.

Walter Williams and Eddie Levert first met when they were the ages of 6 and 7 respectively. As teenagers in Canton, Ohio, they formed a band originally consisting of Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

In 1963, the band took the name "The O'Jays" in tribute to Cleveland radio disc jockey and over the years several members have changed, but the core, original lead singers Eddie Levert and Walter Williams, continue to front the group. In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom the O'Jays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label.

With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The O’Jays scored the first number 1 and million sellers, “Backstabbers.”

Subsequently, they succeeded with various chart topping pop and R&B singles.

McDonald to appear at The Fox

Michael McDonald will bring his This Christmas, An Evening of Holiday & Hits Tour to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Saturday, November 28 at 8:00 p.m. The night will include some of his hits as well as holiday favorites that will surely put you in the spirit.

Tickets are $125, $95, $80, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times.

To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades.

From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highlyacclaimed Motown albums, genre-

39,785

ASSISTED LIVING APARTMENTS • 3 Meals a Day • 24/7 Staffing • Safety Checks

busting guest spots and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.

Beyond his music, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian.

He has lent his talents and energies to many causes and benefits, including MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and was part of a star-studded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.

After moving from his hometown of St. Louis to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s, McDonald honed his talent as a session musician and singer before being invited to join Steely Dan. Over the course of four classic albums, from Katy Lied to Gaucho, McDonald became an integral part of the group’s sound, singing background vocals on FM staples like “Black Friday” and “Peg.” In the mid-‘70s, McDonald joined The Doobie Brothers, helping the band redefine their funky R & B sound as a singer, keyboardist and songwriter on such Top 40 singles as “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “It Keeps You Runnin’,” “Minute By Minute” and “What A Fool Believes.”

Bill Roseberry/The Edge

Above, the 402 Burger, a double bacon-infused cheeseburger, with a side order of fresh-cut french fries. Below, the Station Burger Company in Paducah, Ky.

The Station Burger Company in Paducah, Ky.

By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge Right across the Illinois border in Paducah, Ky. you will find a simple burger shop with a memorable taste — The Station Burger Company.

T h e i d e a o f S t a t i o n B u rg e r became a reality in 2010. It had a simple marketing plan, develop a great tasting burger and provide a sanctuary for local firefighters. It has excelled at both.

There are now three locations — two in Paducah and one in Murray. I was with my parents on a trip to see family when we made our visit. We went to the original location at 3500A James Sanders Blvd. in Paducah.

When you walk in you quickly get what Station Burger is all about. That sensational grilled burger smell slaps you across the face and you're greeted with a friendly southern twang behind the counter, you know the one — “How can I help y'all.”

But when you gaze around the small confines of the restaurant you see its dedication to honoring firefighters. There are large pictures hanging showing these heroes performing their duties and patches adorning the walls from uniforms. Locally if you have visited a Firehouse Subs restaurant it has the same type of atmosphere as one of them.

O n t h e i r w e b s i t e , w w w. thestationburger.com, founder Carl Medlin says it's “Where heroes eat.”

Well I may not be a hero, but I indeed went to Station Burger to eat. It was one little special twist they do to their burgers that made me put Station Burger on my wish list — bacon. At Station Burger the bacon is blended with the beef

24

during the grilling process, so you've got it, there is bacon inside you're hamburger, and practically in every bite. You could say it's a little piece of heaven in every bite.

Mom and dad were equally s t o k e d t o t r y St a t i on Bu rg e r.

I guess a passion for bacon is a hereditary trait.

Mom and dad both went with the station burger, while I went with the 402 Burger. The station burger is a single bacon-infused hamburger patty, while the 402 Burger takes it to the next level with two bacon-infused patties.

More bacon for me. We all added

On the Edge of the Weekend

cheese to our burgers to boot.

Everyone went with an order of Station Burger's fries for their side.

After beginning to devour these burgers all three of us realized quickly why Station Burger has been tagged with the distinction of “Paducah's best burger.” They were charbroiled to perfection and with the influx of bacon, became a legendary burger, a “You Gotta Eat” all-star for sure.

The fries were fresh cut potatoes a n d f r i e d g o l d e n b ro w n a n d topped with a special seasoning.

The y we re delicious too, b ut pretty greasy and a little bit went

October 8, 2015

a long way with them. They offer medium and large orders and I would definitely recommend keeping with a medium or you might get fry overload.

As for the rest of the menu, it remains simple. They don't try to overdo it at Station Burger. There are a few specialty burgers, chili and hot dogs on the menu.

There is the Arson Burger, a mildly hot burger topped with grilled jalapenos and the Back Draft Burger, smothered with chili and cheese. You can also get a plain hamburger or cheeseburger not infused with bacon if you're

one of those lame weirdos that doesn't like bacon.

As for the hot dogs, there's the Dalmatian Dog, which is an all beef hot dog anyway you like it. There's also the Dirty Dog, blanketed in chili and cheese.

For dessert, Station Burger also offers fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

It's not fancy, it's not expensive, it's simple. Station Burger knows what it's about and it sticks to it and if you're making your way through Paducah anytime soon, it's a destination stop when you gotta eat.
