This Week in Live Music History: Phish Opens for Big Star’s Alex Chilton in Chicago, 1990

Photo: Steve Eichner/WireImage — Jon Fishman performs with Phish at Wetlands Preserve in New York City, 1990. By the end of the ‘80s, Phish was playing all over New England and just beginning to venture into other parts of the country, sometimes opening for other artists in cities where the budding jam band wasn’t yet a major draw. In March 1990, Phish visited Chicago for the first time, playing the Lounge Ax, a 300-capacity club in Lincoln Park. Eight months later the band returned, this time opening for a somewhat surprising headliner: Alex Chilton, best known as the leader of the acclaimed ‘70s power pop band Big Star.

Popular Chicago chain known for its hot dogs set to close locations

The Chicago-based fast-casual chain, known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, has 109 locations nationwide Getty/iStock To be frank, fans of a popular Chicago -style hot dog chain may not relish this news. Portillo’s plans to close a “mid-to-high single-digit number” of underperforming restaurants outside the Chicago area, mostly by the end of the year, CEO Brett Patterson announced Thursday. The Chicago-based fast-casual chain, known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, has 109 locations nationwide. It said it looked at each restaurant’s sales, operating costs and expected future performance before deciding which ones to close.
