I don't know about you, but I am always in awe of the inside of places like Auditorium Theater and the Chicago Theatre. Just jaw-dropping exquisiteness everywhere you look.

So I was delighted to see this article.

Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert and photographer Eric Holubow go on a tour of the "decaying beauty" of Chicago's once-grand movie palaces, many of which are now closed. Read the article and see the pics here.

Although I warn you, you may never be able to set foot in a more modern (and less jaw-dropping) theater again.
