Coming up.

I want to be the cheapest thing.

I want to be almost cheaper than like going to the park.

I'm Jordan Stancil.

Here we are at the 400 Theater in Rogers Park in Chicago.

Yeah, this theater has been here since, I believe, 1912.

I've heard some people say 1913.

I came across it in 2025, and really just from being around in the neighborhood a little bit and just saw, literally just physically saw that this had a for-lease sign.

Today we're replacing all the exit doors, so doing a lot of work here to get ready.

Well, I was always in the movie theater business because my great-grandfather founded the Rialto Theater in Grayling, Michigan in 1915.

And so I grew up working in that theater.

I left and went to college and was gone for about 20 years.

I was an officer in the State Department.

I served in Jerusalem and Berlin.

When I was in Jerusalem, we would frequently have congressional delegations that we would have to show around to different places.

And we had one that included Carl Levin, who was our senator from Michigan for a long time.

I got talking to Senator Levin because, you know, I'm from Michigan and he was our senator.

So he said, oh, yeah, where are you from?

I said, Grayling.

He said, I said, you know, my family owns that movie theater there.
