For all past and present Bloomingtonians, the Von Lee is back!
Sadly, it’s not a theatre but still very enjoyable to visit. Over the past year or so, the building has undergone major renovation. The lower level is now a eatery named Noodles and Company, while the upper level houses offices for Indiana University.
I must say I enjoyed it tremendously! There is lots of charm within the building, as much has been done to preserve it contents. I found a very interesting article on the Von Lee, read it here: http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/tcs_vonlee.html
I will never forget some of the experiences I had within this building in my “tween” years. I saw many movies that “made me think.” The one I will never forget is Fire In The Sky.
Noodles and Company offers many different and interesting items. I had to stick to my “American” roots, so I got the “Wisconsin Mac & Cheese” and their “Chicken Noodle Soup.” I had to support my fellow cheesehead and .rox blogger Kelly.
For once, I’m happy to go downtown again 🙂
