The Logan Theatre in Logan Square shows movies for only $4. Sometimes the movies are a little older than the new releases at the fancy theaters, but not that much older. For example, right now they’re showing Planet 51, 2012, Twilight, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, and Old Dogs. I just checked and all of these movies are still playing at the big multiplex nearby, but probably at the tail-end of their run.

The Logan Theatre theater is pretty old school. Very small concession stand, no stadium seating, only a couple theaters. In the bathrooms there’s a weird sitting room. In the bathroom stalls the toilet paper is dispensed in tiny little sheets, stacked up like napkins, instead of having a roll. It’s a mix of charm and a run down feeling, but we’re not complaining. Having a theater we can walk to in the neighborhood that charges only half price is awesome.
