A Tribune story about the soon-to-open Morse Theatre describes it as a "boon to the neighborhood" and notes that "it's uniquely positioned to draw audiences not just from its neighborhood but from two choice, close-by markets: Chicago's North Side, where many affluent concertgoers live, and the comparable North Shore suburbs of nearby Evanston, Wilmette and the like. Major name attractions, of course, could draw listeners from much farther afield."
