Aragon Ballroom is a ballroom located at West Lawrence Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, approximately 5mi north of downtown, in the Uptown neighborhood.HistoryConstruction was completed in 1926. The Aragon was designed in the Moorish architectural style, with the interior resembling a Spanish village. Named for an autonomous community of Spain, the Aragon was an immediate success and remained a popular Chicago attraction throughout the 1940s. The Aragon's proximity to the Chicago 'L' (elevated railway) train provided patrons with easy access, and often crowds in excess of 18,000 would attend during each six-day business week. Each night, powerhouse radio station WGN broadcast an hour-long program from the hall to audiences throughout the Midwestern United States and Canada.The ceiling looked like the sky, the clouds moved across the stars.According to legend, the secret tunnels under the nearby Green Mill bar, a Prohibition-era hangout of Al Capone, lead to the Aragon's basement.A fire at an adjacent cocktail lounge in 1958 forced the Aragon to close for several months. After the reopening, crowds declined significantly, to the point that regular dancing ended in 1964. A succession of new owners used the Aragon as a roller skating rink, a boxing venue, and a discothèque, (the Cheetah, a spin-off of the New York disco) among other uses. There were also occasional efforts to revive it as a traditional ballroom.

Gear Heads Unite! In 2014 the architects of Mods vs Rockers Chicago made the bold move of creating a ALL NEW event. MvR Chicago had set the standard and spawned many impersonators in its nine year run and we felt that it was time for a change. The rally has greatly evolved from its modest beginings in 2005 with a handful of like- minded Cafe Racers and Scooterists hosting a grass roots gathering on Chicago’s North Lincoln Avenue to 2013 Mega Weekender with the Reverend Horton Heat headlining. The new event was no longer a salute to the rival youth cultures of early sixties England but now celebrates all of motorcycling’s rich culture and lifestyle. On June 24th-26th, 2016, Steel Toe Press will host the 3nd annual MOTOBLOT Vintage Motorcycle, Scooter & Hot Rod Car Rally. BLOT: Origin is Norse Pagen; A Gathering to Worship with Sacrifice TICKETS, REGISTRATION and FULL DETAILS: www.motoblot.com
