Have you ever thought it might be nice to take a short drive and get away for a weekend and still have great cultural experiences available to you? The city of Waukegan is hoping so. They're spending a lot of money refurbishing the Genessee Theater. They're doing a pretty good job of documenting all the steps they're taking, and they even have a webcam so you can watch it every minute of every day. Can't wait to see what acts they get.
