It's time to make Buenos Aires, Argentina your next travel destination. Not only does the city have about 734 bookstores—making it the bookstore capital of the world—it's also home to El Ateneo Grand Splendid, a pristine palace-turned-bookstore looming over Santa Fe Avenue in the Barrio Norte. Named by The Guardian as the second most beautiful bookshop in the world in 2008, El Ateneo is also one of the biggest.

Visitors can expect to get lost in the shelves for hours. History and nostalgia lurk behind every corner. The theatre shifted to a cinema during the 1920's and continued to operate as one until 2000, when it was retrofitted into the flagship store for Yenny-El Ateneo Publishing. Working closely with the historic structure of the building, architect Fernando Manzone was careful to leave the ceiling, the ornate wall detail, the stage curtains, and the auditorium lighting as it was.

Thanks to the fact that books are exempt from standard sales tax, the book (and bookstore) are more alive in Buenos Aires than ever. More than a million people visit El Ateneo annually and buy 700,000 books a year.

Article Daily Mining Gazette/Kurt Hauglie Laura Miller, Calumet Theatre executive director, said 82 people attended the theatre’s annual gala event in the ballroom, which was a good turnout. “It was up,” she said. “The last two years we only had about 60.” Although there was no theme for this year’s gala, Miller said Jeremiah Mason, Keweenaw National Historical Park archivist, spoke.

“He did a presentation on the theatre’s early history,” she said. Miller said Mason had historical photographs and letters from Calumet residents written at the time the theatre was proposed. “There were a lot of people who didn’t want a theatre,” she said. Miller said there was a silent auction and a live auction during the gala. For the silent auction, guests were asked to bring in items to be offered. Both auctions brought in a total of about $5,000, and the total for the gala was about $8,000. “This was the kick-start for the elevator campaign,” she said. All money raised by the gala will be used for the project to install the elevator, Miller said. The plan is to put it where a restroom is currently located on the first floor next to the village council chamber. An engineering study has to be done first. “I suppose we won’t have any information on that until the fall, ” she said. It’s hoped the elevator will have a historic look to it, Miller said, so it will reflect the early 20th century design of the building, which opened in 1900.

The village hall adjoining it was added later. People who donate $100 or more will receive a button with the Lift Us Up Elevator Project logo, Miller said. Miller said the elevator is needed because many of the theatre’s patrons have difficulty or are unable to take the stairs to the ballroom. In 2006 and 2007, Miller said the theatre’s board conducted a fundraising campaign to replace the stage curtains, which included placing donation envelopes in theatre programs. “That worked very well for the curtain fundraising,” she said. Miller said $27,000 was raised for the curtains, and the donation envelopes may be used for the elevator campaign, also. The theatre’s annual Grand Raffle starts July 1, and Miller said a portion of what is raised from that will go to the elevator project. IF YOU DONATE $25.00 OR MORE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A SUPPORT BUTTON ALONG WITH A LETTER OF APPRECIATION! To donate for the Calumet Theatre’s elevator project, send money to P.O. Box 167 Calumet, MI 49913, or to donate by credit card, call the theatre at 337-2166.
