‘Color Blind’ to be screened Wednesday at Downers Grove’s Tivoli eatre
By GREGG VOSS Contributing Reporter
The film is a tad eerie because it begins in a noir way – black and white, with no sound. A high school girl sits at a desk in a classroom and writes a note to the guy sitting in front of her. His response? Leave me alone.
And that propels forward the Lyons Townshi p High School production of “Color Blind,” a r oughly five -minute-long film entered i nto the S tudent Silent Film Festival, wh ich will take place at 6:45 p. m. We d nesd ay at the T ivoli T heatre, 5021 Highland Ave. Downers Grove.
The festival is a competition in which students from Lyons and 10 other area high schools create original motion pictures. But unlike other competitions, each
Brookfield updates building permit fees for 2025
Ocials say the new fees align with neighbors’ fee structures in the rst increase since 2018
By TRENT BROWN Staff Reporter
Brookfield has increased fees to obtain permits for building and construction projects to better cover the costs of labor that the per mits require from village staff.
Trustees approved a new minimum permit fee of $100 across the board and shifted some fees from a flat price to a percentage of the overall price of the construction project in question at the village board’s Jan. 13 meeting. The board approved the measure 5 to 1, with Trustee Edward Côté
the sole vote against it.
One of the biggest changes is the implementation of a fee for plan review, when village staffers in the community development department must review blueprints for a construction project before work may begin. That fee will be $100 per hour billed in $50, half-hour increments, Building Division Manager Michelle Niemeyer told trustees
A full list of the fees affected by the new $100 minimum or that are now percentage-based is available as an attachment to the measure’s memo in the agenda for the meeting.
Niemeyer said she sought the change to better align Brookfield’s fee schedule with those of Riverside, LaGrange and LaGrange Park and to keep the percentage-based permit fee at 1.75% of the cost of construction rather than raising that figure to 2%.
“When [Community Development Director] Libby [Popovic] came to me with results of the budget workshop, and she

said, ‘[Trustees are] concerned about that 2% increase,’ I said, ‘Well, I just can’t figure financially how these other towns are maintaining with that 1.75,’ so I dug a little deeper, and I found that every neighboring community charges plan review fees,” she said at the meeting. “I counted approximately 600 permits in 2024 that would have been eligible for plan review fees out of our 1600. If we charge each of those at the minimum, half an hour, that’s about $30,000 in lost revenue.”
In response to questions from Trustee Jennifer Hendricks, Niemeyer said she expected most plan reviews would cost just $50 and that reviews for larger or commercial construction project plans, like for new homes or “significant” additions, will continue to be sent directly to B&F Construction Code Services, an Elgin-based plan review firm, meaning Brookfield’s new plan review fees will not apply.
“Those pass-through fees are going to remain what they have been. This would be more for in-house fees that myself, [Building and Code Enforcement Inspector] Jordan [Isenberg] or, if the B&F inspector is on staf f that day, in-house, doing a review; otherwise, I don’t see that that plan review is going to be a very significant add-on fee.”
At the meeting, Côté initially questioned whether smaller projects, like putting up a new fence, for example, would trigger plan review fees alongside permit fees; Niemeyer said they would.
“I anticipate that the majority of fences would fall into the 0.5 increment of a plan review, so I think that would be a $150 permit, which does align, actually, with all of our neighboring communities,” she said. “We are only higher than LaGrange, and that’s by $10; otherwise, we are less than all of our neighbors with that set of standards for plan review.”
Côté said he ultimately was not in support of the measure.
“If I’m going to put in a shed, and the shed is like $500, and now I’m going to kick over another $150 in permit fees to the village for a $500 shed, I think that’s almost to the point where I’m just going to put in the shed without going in for a permit. I don’t want to be that prohibitive, either,” he said.

Riverside kicks off 150th anniversary with opening ceremony
Community members gathered at Centennial Park for the lighting of the Water Tower last Wednesday
By TRENT BROWN Staff Reporter
Riversiders and members of nearby communities endured 10-degree wind chills Wednesday evening at Centennial Park to attend the village’s opening ceremony for its sesquicentennial year, celebrating Riverside’s official incorporation 150 years ago in 1875.
The crowd grew between 4:45 and 5:15 p.m. as attendees enjoyed free hot chocolate from Dulce Mami Cafe and held space for Riverside’s history on paths lit by paper candles. After village trustees Alex Gallegos and Aberdeen Marsh-Ozga and Village President Doug Pollock gave speeches to the community, members of the Riverside Brookfield High School jazz band led attendees to the Riverside Public Library for a reception with Riverside-themed poetry readings.
Ron and Deb Pike said they attended the opening ceremony because they wanted to celebrate the village’s anniversary as 40-year residents of Riverside
“The history of the village is so important. All of it, 150 years, is amazing,” Ron Pike said.
“It’s one in a million.”
“We need to retain a lot of the historical significance of this village,” Deb Pike said.
“It’s an unbelievably unique, special village to live in.”
Jim Bell, who’s lived in town for 17 years,
said he decided to attend the opening ceremony on a whim
“I had just heard that it was going down, didn’t hear much about it, saw that it was right now and thought, ‘I have to come out and see what’s going on.’ Everybody I know is here, and the weather is a little intimidating, but I’m glad I braved it, and it’s great to see the crowd out,” he said. “You take for granted this wonderful neighborhood. You know vaguely that is has a history, but 150 years is really amazing.”
Andrea Torres, who owns Dulce Mami, said she skipped plans to attend the event to spread some warmth at the hot chocolate stand instead.
“We are very new in this town, and we’re trying to be very close to the events because we have a business here. Everybody told me about this sesquicentennial, and I feel it’s something very important to the town,” she said. “I was planning to come with my family, but now we’re volunteers to give away some free hot chocolate.”
After much of the crowd had gathered around 5:15 p.m., Gallegos and Marsh-Ozga introduced Riverside to the year of celebrations, which will include an incorporation weekend Aug. 8 and 9 chock full of events. The village will also auction off recently replaced street signs starting Jan. 20. Information about how to possibly win a sign is available on Riverside’s website.
In her speech, Marsh-Ozga gave a nod to the village’s past and future by explaining the ceremony’s candle decor.
“The luminaria that you see all around are a gift from the art students of Riverside School District 96,” she said. “Beyond representing Riverside’s 150 years as a village, each one of these 150 luminaria represent a young
person’s positive wishes for Riverside and for the future of our community.”
In his speech, Pollock thanked village staff and more than 400 volunteers across Riverside for their work and encouraged residents to do the same.
“This year, this sesquicentennial, is about one thing, really one thing, and that’s the people who volunteer their time for this village, presently and in the past. In 1875, it was residents of the village who took this unincorporated property that was partially developed and said, ‘We need to form a government,’” he said. “We’re here giving credit to them and to everyone else who has served this village over 150 years. It’s great to honor those who came before us, but our real obligation is to honor those who presently serve and are keeping this village great, so I want to ask everybody throughout the year to thank the volunteers, not only in the village but in civic organizations. They’re just as important to what makes Riverside such a great community.”
While Katy Pizza is not a Riverside resident, she said her family ties — namely, being Marsh-Ozga’s sister — drew her to the opening ceremony and pushed her to donate patio heaters from her brewery, ERIS, in Chicago.
“I’ve always enjoyed coming to Riverside It’s beautiful. Chicago doesn’t have a lot of green, and this is so easy to get to and delightful,” she said. “The amount of civic pride, for a small village to bring people out in this number, it’s touching. I’ve had my kids in the Fourth of July parade ever since they were tiny, or just coming to see it, people come from all over. I’ve got friends from Evanston who come down for the Fourth of July parade. Riverside means a lot to a lot of different people, and with a wider reach than you might think.”

Brook eld cops investigate 26th Street burglary
Brookfield p olice investi ga ted a bu rg lary Jan. 18 but did not ar r est anyone.
Around 10:15 p. m ., p olice r esponded to the 9100 b lock of 26th Street and met with two r esidents, who said they we re not home when their house was broken i nto. One r esident warned p olice about a s ide d oor with a broken d oorknob before p olice investi ga ted and f ound “several r ooms we re tampered with and lef t in disarray, ” including the bedroom, bathroom and b asement. Dr awers we re opened and p ulled out wh i le c lothing was r emove d from c losets and even a ceiling tile in the b asement was “pulled out and damaged,” police said.
One r esident said she left for wo rk around 3 p. m. that afternoon and tha t they b oth arrive d home around 10 p. m. T he woman told p olice she was missing two p earl necklaces, a g old necklace and a diamond ring from the jewelry box in her bedroom.
Police p hoto gr aphed the scene and took DNA sw abs before officers c anv assed the area to look for neighbors with home c ameras. One neighbor told p olice he had noticed a vehicle drive up and down the street multiple times and use his drive way b etween 5:26 p. m. and 6:05 p. m. He ag r eed to send them f ootage he captured on surve i llance cameras the next day, police said.
On J an. 19, p olice reviewed the footage and saw the vehicle in q uestion drive east and west on 26th Street about five times within the half-hour period, using the neighbor’s drive way three times to c hange direction. Police r an the car’s license plates and f ound it was re gistered to a Chicago r esident. One of the r esidents of the burglariz ed home told p olice after being c ontacted that he was not f amiliar with the make and model of car or the name of the re gistered owner ; he also said he had noticed that morning that his p hone and cable lines in the alleyway had b een c ut, p ossibly in r elation to the burglar y.
While p olice did not ar r est anyone for the burglar y, they noted in their reports that the burglar may have b een “i n search of a specific i tem” as some v aluables in the home were left behind
Caught speeding by radar
Rive rside p olice ticketed a man J an. 14 for ag gr av a ted speeding.
Around 10 p. m ., an officer was c onducting radar readings wh i le facing south at the i ntersection of Woodside and Maplewood r oads when a vehicle a ppeared to be going 51 mph in the 25-mph zone, so the officer initiated a traffic stop.
After p ulling the drive r over near L.J. Hauser Junior High School, the officer spoke to the drive r and explained the r eason for the stop. T he man said it was “impossible” he had b een driving 51 mph before he provided his drive r’s lic ense and proof of insuranc e.
The officer issued the man a citation for a misdemeanor aggravated speeding charge and explained he would have a court date on Feb. 7, at which point the man became “agitated” and “argumentative,” police said. The officer called in a supervisor, who arrived at the scene and explained the court process to the man before police allowed him to go on his way.

Brookfield opens applications for Brookfield Shops
Apply by Feb. 15 for a slot in the v illage’s retail incubator or to help decide who’ll get one
By TRENT BROWN Staff Reporter
Come one, come all: Brookfield is accepting applications now for its Brookfield Shops retail incubator program launching June 15, and village officials want you — yes, you, reading this right now — to throw your hat in the ring.
Brookfield officials are inviting residents who are interested in opening their own retail storefront on weekends or having a say on who fills those storefronts to apply for a spot in the shops or on the selection jury, respectively, by Saturday, Feb. 15.
Business and Economic Development Coordinator Deanne Adasiak told the Landmark the best candidates for the shops are
people who have an idea for a retail business they’re ready to act on.
“We are looking for someone that is at the step where they want to open a storefront, but they’re not there yet,” she said. “This is a smaller scale, more economically feasible, so someone should have their business financials in place, what they’re projecting [and] what they need for their product. As far as the application, the only other item that someone might not have is a business plan, so we did add a generic business plan template for the vendors that are applying to use as a guide.”
She said everyone who submits an application for a storefront will advance to the jury selection, where each applicant will have about 10 minutes to share their idea in a “‘Shark Tank’ type of pitch.”
On the flipside, the village is also seeking applicants to fill out that jury. Fo r that p osition, Adasiak said, the barrie r to entry is lowe r.
“The application’s very basic,” she said. “Just, who you are in the community? What do you envision for Brookfield Shops? We’re hoping to get a diverse group,
though: maybe a business owner, maybe a resident, maybe someone that’s a commissioner. We’re hoping that we get a couple of different types of people in here to vote on who should be selected to be in the shed.”
So far, she said, the village has received about five a pplications from p otential vendors and j ust one from an i nterested juro r. S he said officials hope to have about 20 vendors c ompeting for the si x sheds and seven jurors making the final c hoice s. Officials have yet to decide if vendor a pplicants who are not selected for a storefront g et any kind of priorit y for the next cohor t in 2026, she said.
The village has hosted three infor mational sessions about the shops. Adasiak said residents who attended the first two sessions, and who have commented on social media, have mostly given positive feedback. She said some attendees were interested in applying but unsure if they could commit to running the shop every weekend or if their business would qualify.
The third info session was hosted Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., after the Landmark’s print deadline but before publication.
She said officials made the c all to only allow retail businesses for the first cohort this year and that they may c onside r allowing those providing a service to apply next year
“For example, there was a dance instructor that wanted to come in the sheds. She thought it would be perfect, but we’re not doing any service type of businesses at this point,” she said.
She said vendors seeking to sell food would be allowed but would have to produce their food products off-site and sell them prepackaged.
She said she and other officials were initially worried by the low number of applications received so far but that they expect more to come in as the deadline approaches.
“I talked to Gina Sharenow, who runs the far mers market, and she said, ‘Dee, the last week, you’re going to get inundated with applications,’” Adasiak said. “‘I deal with the far mers market every year, and they sprinkle in slowly, and then I get hit at the end.’ It’s exciting. We have five [applicants]; they’re all very different right now, but we’re hoping for at least 15 more.”
FILM Silent storytelling
from page 1
production tells a story in visual terms without the benefit of voices or sound effects.
LT senior Eva Eggerding, from Brookfield, plays the role of the high school girl.
The challenges of creating a silent film for the students were many.
“One of the c hallenges that we faced, when you talk to somebody, you c an kind of have a little more emotion, or yo u act a certain way, or you c an enunciate things to bring emotion,” she said. “But with no talking, you have to do it all through your face You have to do eve rything visuall y, i nstead of listening to it , so that was a challeng e. ”
There was another practical, and humorous, challenge to making “Color Blind.”
“When you’re doing a silent film, nobody really calls out, ‘Quiet on set,’” Eggerding said. “You’d have people talking or you’d have somebody say something and laugh and have to do it again.”
Bill Allan is the founder and supervisor of television services at Lyons Township, better known as LTTV. He and two other high school media teachers created the inaugural Student Silent Film Festival in 2017.
He sees the challenge of creating a topnotch silent film through a different lens. He earned a bachelor’s de gree in fine arts in Photo, Film and Electronic Media from the University of Illinois-Chicago, before embarking on a career in the commercial film industry.
In other words, he’s been there, done that.
“Their generation is used to having all the access to sound, to voiceovers, to dialog, to

Clarifying costs from page 3
“I understand that there’s a need or a desire to have a minimum c ost to associate for the man-hours spent towards thing s, b ut at the same time , taking into consideration that if a project’s li ke $600, and they ’r e going to be paying $150 to $200 to
sound effects, to soundtrack and sound music,” Allan said. “To deprive them of the ability to use sound is actually a good thing. It’s a limitation that encourages them to think more creatively, because they then have to express their story ideas just visually.
“So it really brings in a more photographic component, because they have to think, ‘How are we showing that part of the story?’ We can’t cheat.”
As the film progresses, it transitions from black and white to color as the girl realizes she has another male suitor. To tell more would be to give the story away, but the conclusion is both powerful and humorous.
But to say there will be no sound at all is a bit of a misnomer. All festival’s submitted movies will feature a live music a ccomp animent by Derek Berg, a professional pianist and CEO of the C larendon Hills Music Academy. T he music will be pe rfor med on a uniquely d esigned ke yboard rig that employs virtual i nstruments sampled from classic synthesizers over the period 1950-80.
“The night of the festival is the first time that anyone hears the original compositions,” Allan said. “He’s almost creating a soundscape. He is literally sitting there with a monitor so when key parts come in, he’s cueing certain sound elements and music elements to the scene the students shot.”
T he students, all seniors – Eggerding and Fendrick Marcus from Brookfield, Claudio Rodriquez from Countryside (who plays the romantic interest in the color portion of the film), Robert Bucko from Western Springs, and Sean Dunne, Ethan Meuer and Gabriel Paszyna from La Grange – had but 11 days to complete the film and submit it. That included writing the script, filming and editing. Talk about pressure.

After some back-and-for th discussion about wh ich kinds of re pairs c ould t rigger the need for a pe rm it, and therefore to pay a fe e, Niemeyer ag r eed to be c learer on when a pe rm it is needed .
“I’ve seen all sorts of different scenarios in different c ommunities, b ut one thing that I c ame across multiple times was, ‘What is excluded from a pe rm it requirement in this c ommunity?’” she said. “I think, speaking to your c on-

“LTTV in general, all the equipment and the teachers we have here, the knowledge is some of the best in the country,” said Meuer, who is undecided on college right now. “Having that alone is great.”

Before the board approved the change, Village President Michael Garvey underscored the need to balance the experienced price to residents with the costs of staff labor.
“The technology that we use and the way that Mr. Allan teaches us, is that this is a Step One,” she said. “It’s a great Step One. We’re getting a lot of access to amazing equipment, and he’s open to almost any project.”
“The g oal of this is to sustain the department, be able to pay for wh at we need to do and to offer the services so it c an be d one quickly.

OBITUARIES THE L ANDMARK VIEW
Celebrate Riverside
Describing Riverside, Deb Pike, a 40-year resident, said, “It’s an unbelievably unique, special village to live in.” That’s what Pike told the Landmark as she and many others stood outside in the cold at Centennial Pa rk when Riverside opened its year-long celebration of its 150th anniversary as a village
And Pike is right. Riverside stands alone as a community, planned back in the 1860s around its alignment with nature, with open, shared spaces. It has hewed to that plan, crafted by Frederick Law Olmsted, with some ferocity
In his speech to the assembled, Doug Pollock, Riverside’s village president, made a key point in lauding the people of the village who have stepped up as volunteers over these 150 years. He noted the early settlers who in 1875 created a governing structure around an unincorporated and only partially developed village. He credited those who have stepped up across decades to grow the strong sense of community that only an invested citizenry can nur ture. And he singled out what he said were the 400 volunteers currently working across all aspects of Riverside to make this community the “unique, special village” that Pike described.
This is a moment for authentic pride in Riverside. Honoring and celebrating this village is a worthy endeavor for 2025.
Resetting permit fees
Resulting from a thoughtful discussion between Brookfield’s elected leaders and its diligent staf f, the village government has now approved increases in a range of building permit fees. It is the first increase in these fees since 2018.
The increases, though, were not merely an effort to raise cash to hit a budget shor tfall. The discussion and the research reflected a plan to make the permitting process pay for itself as a reflection of a governing philosophy. The full population of Brookfield taxpayers should not be paying for a permit for a homeowner remaking a kitchen or a commercial developer building a house. With a goal of keeping its permit process speedy and responsive, the village needs to cover those costs.
Trustee Edward Côté was the lone vote in opposition to the increased fees. He raised valid concer ns about defining just what does require a building pe rmit in Brookfield and what does not. And while he may feel that requiring a permit to install a back yard shed is overreach, he did succeed in convincing staf f to add a page to the permitting website delineating just what you don’t need a permit to undertake in town. (For instance, re pairing a deck or fixing a hot water heater would be considered “routine maintenance,” which does not require a permit.)
Overall, these increases and the thinking behind them seem thoughtful and reasonable to us

Cook Co. Circ uit Cour t judge
Robert Boharic, 79, of Riverside, a for mer Cook County Circuit judge, died on Jan. 12, 2025 of complications related to congestive heart failure. According to the obituary published in the Chicago Sun-Times on Jan. 14, which the family shared with us, “The uber-competitive Mr. Boharic wasn’t satisfied learning tae kwon do and playing softball.

Riverside Brookfield High School senior Vince Dockend orf finished Friday’s basketball game with soreness in hi knee and calf but he wasn’t about to sit Saturday. T dogs had yet another home game, and this one was rival Lyons Township.
“I would have played against anyone, but especially was like, ‘I need to play,’” Dockendorf said. And once was at the forefront of a close and emotional win as the Bulldogs prevailed 69-66 In the annual regular-season meeting
RBHS (14-7) swept the two meetings last season, 69-66 LTHS and 71-56 at York’s Jack Tosh Holiday Classic during winter break. Dockendorf had seven of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, including two free throws with 10 seconds left for the game’s final points.
After LTHS junior Owen Carroll missed a three-pointer that probably would have forced overtime, Dockendor knocked away the rebound and time expired. The Bulld now are 6-0 since a 1-3 record at the Tosh Classic and cu rently have first place to themselves outright after ing previous co-leader Glenbard East 59-58 and Glenbard South 65-62 Friday.
“Especially after the hard-fought win [Friday], of it’s always nice because it’s a mid-town rivalry too,” Dockendorf said. “I knew once we played and the adrenaline [would help]. It would just hurt when I was jumped. But once we started playing, it just went away.”
Danny Loftus (15 points, 7 rebounds), Cam Mercer (10 first-half points, 6 rebounds), Brycen Grove (9 points), Colin Cimino (5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Ben Biskupic, who each had six points on two threes), Mantas Sleinys points, 5 rebounds) and Liam Enright (5 points each) also contributed for the Bulldogs.
“I think I could have done a bit better but just the sensation of beating LT in front of a great crowd, probably the best crowd we’ve had all year, that ranks pretty high,” said Loftus, the Bulldogs’ leading scorer this season. “It’s always great to beat LT, T hey’re a great progr am. You know a lot of the guys growing up, playing them. It feels pretty good. Just two good teams battling it out.”
LTHS (7-10) led 54-49 after a Carroll three with 6:49 left but the Bulldogs responded with a 15-3 r un to pull ahead 64-57 with 1:57 left.
“We stuck together and made plays. We got great contributions from everybody,” RBHS coach Mike Reingruber said. “It was our best team win of the year; everybody brought something to the tabl e, which I can’t say for all of

our games this year.”
The Lions are 0-4 after an impressive 3-1 perfor mance at the Tosh Classic in which all four of their games were decided by four to six points.
Senior Ian Polonowski had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds for LTHS. Owen Carroll (15 points, 4 rebounds), Josh Gutier re z (14 points, 5 rebounds), Bobby Vespa (10 points) also reached double figures.
The last six points of the Bulldogs’ fourth-quarter run came from reserve Grove, whom Reingruber said had his
best game of the season. That included a three-pointer and free throw after being fouled for a rare four-point play.
“That’s my first time, ever, in a basketball game. I’m not going to lie,” Grove said. “[This win] means a lot. Defense and just being physical [helped us].”
LTHS still nearly rallied. Carroll hit a clutch three and driving basket to close the Lions to 66-64. After Dockendorf made one of two free throws, Gutierrez’s two-pointer cut the deficit to 67-66 with 11.2 seconds remaining.
RBHS pulled out tight games all week. The Bulldogs (8-0 in UEC East) and Glenbard East (12-7, 7-1) alternated onepossession leads throughout. Loftus (20 points, 10 rebounds) contributed a double-double. Mercer (12 points, 7 rebounds), Dockendorf (10 points) and Cimino (8 points) each had two threes. RBHS visits Glenbard East, Jan. 30.
“That was a back-and-for th battle,” Reingruber said. “Luckily when that clock hit 0:00, we were ahead. It was a great high school basketball game.”
After the Rams hit a tough three to tie the game at 58, the Bulldogs worked the clock. Dockendorf dribbled and passed inside to Loftus, who was fouled. After Loftus made one free throw, Grove forced a jump ball that gave the ball back to RBHS.
“It was probably one of the most fun games I’ve played at the varsity level in front of a big crowd and a huge conference game. It just felt amazing,” Dockendorf said.
“I wanted to run down the clock. I was thinking to shoot but Danny cut perfectly, a great cut, wide open. I just handed it to him for the foul.”
Against Glenbard South, Dockendorf hit two free throws for a 64-61 lead with 17.3 seconds and one with 3.9 seconds after the Bulldogs nearly squandered an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead. T he Raiders missed a halfcour t shot at the buzzer
Loftus had 26 points and seven rebounds, followed by Mercer (15 points) and Dockendorf and Cimino (8 points each).
“What was great was we didn’t blame each other for any mistakes. We just came together, knew we could win it and just executed at the end of the game,” Dockendorf said.
Leading late against LTHS Saturday, the Bulldogs took nearly a minute off the clock before Dockendorf made a driving shot and Grove put in the rebound for the 64-57 lead
“We learned from one day to the next,” Reingruber said. “That’s why I called a timeout to talk about that specifically and we did a great job executing.”
The Lions fell to 1-4 in West Suburban Conference Silver play after a 44-25 loss to Downers Grove North Friday. Polonowski (11 points) and Marshaun Russell (4 points, 4 rebounds) led the Lions

Owners Jess King and Will Duncan recount the journey behind this historic milestone
BY DALAL ORFALI Vibe assistant editor
Nestled in Berwyn, FitzGerald’s has been a community cor nerstone for over a century. Its legacy is now cemented after it became the first music venue in Illinois to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places Owners Will Duncan and Jess King worked toward the designation for two years.
In April 2023, King posted a vintage photo
FitzGerald’s: Berwyn’s gem named to National Register of Historic Places
of FitzGerald’s on social media, sparking an outpouring of nostalgia from patrons
“I went to the Berwyn Public Library looking for more photos,” she said. “That’s really when I discovered the full history. As I’m sitting there in the library, I’m seeing advertisements and news articles on this property going all the way back to the early 1900s, and it was just incredible.”
This revelation set the wheels in motion to nominate the ve nue for the National Re gister.
The research revealed surprising details, including FitzGerald’s connections to Prohibition-era mob activity.
“We have actual records of the mayor of Berwyn at the time—I think it was 1934—
shutting this place down because this was the hangout of one of Al Capone’s top guys, Jack McGurn,” King said. She noted that records from the Library of Congress pointed to the property’s reputation during Prohibition, joking, “No comment on bad, but it’s one of the things that surprised us the most!”
The road to historic designation wasn’t easy.
“This was not a typical nomination,” King said. “The nominations for the National Register are mostly architectural, and this stands out as a 100% cultural nomination.”
Illinois’ Board of the National Register debated the venue’s merit, but ultimately acknowledged overwhelming community support — more than 90 letters from patrons
“In the end, they did say that this place deserves to be on the National Register for its importance to people alone,” King said.
The venue was originally built as a dance hall.
“We know that for sure because it’s labeled that on a Sanborn map from the early 1900s,” King said.
During the jazz revival of the mid-20th century, FitzGerald’s became a beacon for musicians and fans alike. While specific names elude immediate recall, King promises their historical records include notable artists who graced its stage.
And during Prohibition, it became an ath-

The couple enlisted Douglas Gilbert, an Oak Park local architect and historian, to craft a compelling application. His research cemented FitzGerald’s status as a historic site. For King and Duncan, the process was meticulous and nerve-wracking.
“The hardest part was the waiting,” Duncan acknowledged. “For two years, we were on the edge of our seats, hoping for a favorable outcome.”
Preservation has always been central to their mission, they said.
“We have done almost nothing to alter the property in any way; it sits as it was built over a hundred years ago,” Duncan said. “That’s part of this historic designation—to preserve its look, feel, and usage.”
Maintenance, like foundation and roof repairs, remains essential. Duncan noted that the designation will open doors for preservation grants and potential tax credit benefits.
But for Duncan, FitzGerald’s is more than a business venture; it’s deeply personal.
“I first came to see music here 25 years ago, and I fell in love with it,” he said.
After years in Chicago’s live music and hospitality industries, he and King took the leap when the FitzGerald family, who had run the venue for 40 years, sought to pass the torch.
“We spent 18 months deliberating,” he said. “It was what we were meant to do in our lives — to take this place over and build on the incredible legacy that had grown here, and try to keep it alive.”
Duncan noted that small clubs are important because they act as cultural incubators.
“Every great artist got their start at a small club. The Rolling Stones’ first gig was in a small club, so these are the places where true talent is developed,” he said. “They’re essential to our cultural landscape.”
King and Duncan plan to host an open house history experience on Jan. 28, inviting patrons to explore the venue’s rich legacy. They also plan an early spring community celebration to mark FitzGerald’s historic milestone with a plaque dedication.
“We have plans to invite the community and people who have helped us through this process. There will be a celebration for sure,” King said.
Na Siam: Fresh as ever with new owners
Knock and Honey Wareewanich are bringing the best of ingredients to the new Thai restaurant at North and Kenilworth
By RISÉ SANDERS-WEIR Contributing Reporter
Na Siam Restaurant — a bit of Thailand at our northern border — has new owners. But the aroma and flavors are the same at the Nor th Avenue restaurant.
Thitinant “Knock” Wareewanich and his wife bought the restaurant eight months ago. They arrived from Thailand with their two young children and a dream – an American dream to give their kids a great education and a solid start in life
The menu at Na Siam is largely the same as it was before, but the Wareewaniches are careful with the quality.
“We go to market. I mean the raw material, we order by ourself and if some part we think is not fresh enough, we just go directly to the market by ourself,” said Wareewanich
Many of Thai cuisine’s flavors benefit from this dedication to quality ingredients: basil, papaya, ginger, eggplant and others.
that to adjust,” Wareewanich said.
When they decide to introduce a new item, they take a similar approach. This is true for an item they are currently considering: Taro in coconut milk.
“We give, let the customer try, and ask them if they like that for new items that we’re going to launch,” Wareewanich said.
He said he was an educator in his homeland. His wife, Honey, is also a fashion designer. Photos and examples of her wares are on display in the restaurant’s dining room.
Their children, whom Wareewanich calls the “bosses,” are two and three years old. The presence of young eaters in their own family might be the reason for the reasonably priced kid’s combo options that comes with either crispy chicken or chicken satay, eggrolls filled with steamed broccoli, carrot and other veggies, and served with jasmine rice for only $6.95.
Customer Dennis Egolf and his wife enjoyed a lunch in the dining room recently. When Egolf ’s red curry bowl arrived, steam filled the air with the smells of good tastes to come
Their protein options range from the usual —tofu, chicken, shrimp, beef and pork —but the menu also includes duck as an option for many dishes
Appetizers are a tempting list. Spring rolls filled with a fresh collection of tofu, beansprouts, carrots and cucumber are wrapped in rice paper and served with plum sauce. Steamed Thai dumplings are served with black garlic soy sauce. And crab Rangoon pleases the American palate with crab and cream cheese inside a puff of fried wonton.
The new owners listen attentively to reactions from customers, some of whom drive from as much as 45 minutes away to dine there, according to Wareewanich
“We always ask, ‘How do you like the food?’ And if anything is in common with comments, we use
“We drive by here often and decided to try it. The soup was great, the spice levels are excellent, and the service is friendly. We’ ll be back,” Wareewanich said.
Na Siam’s menu includes all the expected dishes in a Thai restaurant: soups, like Tom Yum, curries, noodle dishes and salads. Panang curry with peanuts, coconut milk, lime leaves, veggies and a choice of protein, all served with jasmine rice, is one of the most popular curries in Thailand Wareewanich takes pride in his new role as ambassador for foods from his home, ensuring that his kitchen does not serve pre-cooked dishes to customers.
“For us, sometimes you have to wait about half an hour. Because we cook every dish fresh,” Wareewanich said. And they hope diners leave satisfied. “We are depending on word of mouth. The customer come in, eat. They go out and then they tell. That’s the way we will grow.”
