This is the space that we hope we can occupy.
The first floor is just under 3500 square feet and has been empty for years. The last use of the space was as a recording studio, making it nearly ideal for the layout of the School of Rock. The three sets of 80's-looking windows are filling the space of much larger, original storefront windows. They would need to come out and be replaced with something much more compatible with the building style - Thanks to Pat Zubak of Downtown Oak Park for that idea! I am imagining that the three windows on the far right would actually be a glass garage door - kind of like the ones below - making that space an indoor rehearsal room / outdoor open-air stage for summer concerts.
Here is a look from the inside looking out toward one of the rehearsal rooms.
There is even a concrete embossed crest above the front door that reminds me of the logo that one of the kids designed in the School of Rock movie. This place looks like a School of Rock!
As one can imagine, my mind is occupied with design ideas, business plans, real estate, home work, grocery shopping, travel schedules, school schedules, ice hockey practice, voice and base lessons, trips to the skate park, exercise and yes... a Real Job. Today, I will don a different hat and come back to this later.
Happy Monday!
