Halloween’s spooky atmosphere causes many people to wonder about the supernatural history of Oswego and the surrounding area.

Kendall 11 operates in Oswego, Illinois, under the company Classic Cinemas. The local theater recently made some changes to its seating, and the final touches are expected to be finished in February.
“We are reopening that [[GDX]] auditorium for Captain America. It opens on February 14th, but there’s a day before preview on February 13th. But if everything goes correctly, we’re actually going to have the same seats that we have in the other ten auditoriums, but they’re [[also]] going to have massaging seats,” said Classic Cinemas CEO Chris Johnson.

The new Mexican cuisine restaurant, Freddie’s Off The Chain, recently opened up in downtown Oswego on Apr. 1. However, Freddie’s is already more than familiar with the food business, starting out as a food truck after the passing of the owner’s son, Freddie.
Freddie’s General Manager, Armando Duran, said, “My older brother’s name was Freddie…he had battled with drug addiction, and he ended up passing in 2017. My mom [[Mona Herrada]] was kind of lost, but my brother always wanted her to open a restaurant, so that’s kind of how the taco truck started going.”
