Deputy Commissioner Kathleen Dickhut of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks proposes Apollo’s 2000, a Beaux-Arts Architecture theater built by Louis and Meyer Marks, to be a Chicago Landmark under the Municipal Code of Chicago. Visited by politicians like Vice President Al Gore and Senator Bernie Sanders, and promoted by Alderwoman Monique L. Scott, it has hosted Spanish Rock bands and promoted Latin music. The proposal, adopted on February 8, 2024, will be introduced at the City Council meeting on March 20, 2024.
