The Save the Ramova Theater Group visited the Bridgeport Gem yesterday and were able to take the photo above of her beautiful, albeit neglected interior.   The group is spearheading effforts to have the Ramova theater return to her greatness as the anchor of this once vibrant commercial district.  Like many theaters in the days of old (Music Box, Gately, etc.) the Ramova was once the 'go to' location for the Bridgeport Neighborhood.    Read the piece in the Chicagoist to learn more about efforts to revive the Ramova.
