Operators of Evanston’s live music venues expect continued challenges due to the pandemic, but there is hope the music and their businesses will return this year. Outdoor concerts are on the horizon for late summer and club owners are crossing fingers for indoor performances starting in the fall.
“I’m not counting on anything, but we’re hoping for live music in September,” said Steve Rashid, co-founder of Studio5, which shares a performance space at Evanston Dance Center on Dempster Street.
Finding the perfect gift is always hard. This holiday season poses a whole new set of dilemmas for people who prefer to give memorable experiences rather than stuff.
Will that spring concert happen, and if it does, will the recipient feel comfortable going? Is a âdate nightâ gift of dinner and a show still exciting if that means a Netflix subscription and DoorDash gift card?

Chicago resident Deirdre Crimmins is among this yearâs gift-givers whoâs decided to play it safe. The 39-year-old typically prefers to give and receive experience-based gifts, like the time her parents gave her a weekend getaway at a bed and breakfast, or the tickets to a Pee-wee Herman show this spring she gave her boyfriend. The show was canceled because of the pandemic, and even though she got her money back, she doesnât plan to give anything similar this year.
