Aha, but it does not have one. It may seem ridiculous, but it’s true. We don’t have our own movie theater in the neighborhood. That’s why I see everybody and their mother at AMC River East.

(Not if you don’t count Doc Films, the campus film society, which doesn’t show movies that are in theaters).

I always think that big box stores and chain stores could make a killing here, catering to the UChicago population. There are a lot of movements to bring a Trader Joe’s to Hyde Park and to amp up our retail-ness a little bit. It seems so out of character with the U. of C., though, now that I think of it-- there are bookstores aplenty, and that’s about it.
