I went to go see Nasforatu at 4:10 here on Christmas Day…read more I was wearing two pairs of pants and a hoodie that was warm enough for me to feel comfortable outside in. After an hour of the movie, I knew that it was so cold I wouldn't be able to make it. I really didn't want to have to come back to the theater to see the rest of the movie, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay in the theater for so long because it was so cold. I googled the movie and I saw that I had an hour and 40 minutes left, so I went outside and I complained to the manager and I had him give me a free pass for another day so I would be able to dress much warmer and see the rest, maybe bring a blanket as well. Heated seat did not really do anything to help my comfort. I Will probably come back This upcoming Sunday around 1:00 p.m to see the rest, But this time I will dress much warmer. The lobby between the entrance and where the movie was was about 20 to 30° warmer than inside where the movie was being played So that was kind of misleading. I also have a complaint about the ability to maneuver inside the theater. I am disabled and I have to have a walker with me most times, and unlike meadowview, Paramount does not have buttons that open and close the door for handicapped individuals. This is the first time I've been to this theater by myself in probably about 10 years and I am not coming back to this theater by myself again because I don't have someone to open the door for me.

This is one of the few venues in Kankakee that offers a blank canvas for special events ranging…read morefrom birthday parties and weddings to trade shows and more. The outside doesn't show it's age as much as the inside, so depending on your event, be prepared to spend money on decor and lighting to detract away from the ceiling, dingy windows and dusty window coverings and grates for air/heat. I was recently here for a winter wedding so it was really warm with all the people inside and heat on but it was drafty in places. The kitchen is a big convenience if you will have catered food. I recommend preparing food off site and bringing in warming cabinets. There is ample counter space as well should you wish to use that for food prep or organizing things for set up. There is a ramp making this place handicap accessible. Be careful with the step to get in and out though for everyone else. The "WOAH" from guests leaving caused a moment of panic because that could easily lead to a twisted ankle or someone falling if older. I don't recall if there was a label or something on the door already saying "WATCH YOUR STEP" but it wouldn't hurt to make your own nice sign to ensure your guests don't injure themselves.

Uniquely beautiful, historically sound, one-of-a-kind event space. We held the Cotton-Terrell…read moreFamily Reunion Friday Fish Fry Meet & Greet here this past weekend. The ballroom is spacious and versatile in use. The stage is a bit sunken back and removed from the main floor, so a concert of panel discussion would suit the space perfectly. The 5-panel mirrored wall to the upper left of the venue is out of place, yet convenient for certain embellishments. We utilized this wall as a backdrop for the candy table, which gave a visual duplication of the 20+ glass vases filled with goodies. The commercial kitchen and storage room are fully enclosed, allowing catering easy access to event yet privacy for prep. The light hardwood floors prove to withstand a 7-minute Electric Slide session for over 50 people. The capacity of around 300 persons is shy, at best. The foyer with 2 double-door entries on either side allow for a good flow: one door in and traffic flows out the other. Unfortunately, the restrooms are outdated and could use a good coat of paint and decor. Plenty of parking in the left lot of along the street at the head of the grass field. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and I'm sure my family would not hesitate to book again.

We opted for dinner at the Mexican restaurant in the same strip mall (highly recommend) rather than getting food here, but I normally would have let the boys get a sweet treat.

While on tour with the Concordia University Chicago Chamber Orchestra, we needed an emergency…read morerepair of a soprano saxophone. We were thrilled when Danny at King Music agreed to help us out before our 7 pm concert time that night. Danny is super knowledgeable and professional. He completed the repair and made suggestions for further work when we get back home. Completing the work under the quote without skimping on quality, he repaired what he knew was necessary. He even made recommendations for a better case that would protect the sax better in future. Our saxophonist was thrilled with how well the instrument played! The director was thrilled to have that instrument back for performance. I wish King Music was up in the Chicago area! Class act!

This place is awesome. I entered the Looney Bin for the first time ever on Thursday, March 7.

I have seen multiple Local H shows in the past, but never at a venue this small. In addition, I had been wanting to see Letters From The Dead for a long time and finally had the chance! The intimate experience was truly amazing from the beginning all the way to the end of the show. This place is small and they bring in great music which makes it an awesome experience! Attending a show at the Looney Bin should be on everyone's bucket list! I'll be back next week to see Letters From The Dead perform again opening for J.R. Richards (original singer of Dishwalla)! Great live music, easy parking, cold beer, and great people! What more do you need?

We came out to see a friends band , we purchased the VIP seating , it was a nice area to get away from the general bar crowd while the band was playing , sound wasn't that good, I am not sure if they were having issues or if it always is this way , but you couldn't hear very well the singer from the Vip section . But you are up close and personal for sure !! They don't have the bbq menu anymore it's now a taco lady , and the tacos were good ! They had a assortment of items on the menu , wasn't pricey and portions were good size . Drinks were also reasonable and they seemed to have a variety of alcohol options The ceiling tiles are painted different themes and sayings , interesting again !! Parking is next to none ! You can park on the street but there isn't a ton of space . I literally didn't even see a parking lot . Overall it was a interesting experience and I would come out again if there was a band or event there I was interested in !! I mainly took a few videos which I can't seem to post here but the one pic I took is of the drummers set !
