Locally produced (Charleston, IL local) documentary by Eastern Illinois University Journalism Instructor, Joe Astrouski. Remembering Ted's Warehouse (Program length almost 60 minutes) tells the story of 'Ted's in Charleston, thru band members, staff, and patrons, and the impact this former venue had on those that visited and performed there.
Ted's Warehouse was a bar and entertainment establishment that opened in Charleston in April 1971. The former shipping warehouse is adjacent to the railroad tracks on the north end of Charleston. Ted's Warehouse closed in 1996 when 67-year-old Ted Butuca died, but Bertuca's legacy lives on through the patrons and bands that graced the floors and stages of the Warehouse building. Ted Bertuca can be found at Find A Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/124773916/theodore-r-bertuca

It closed a few years after Ted passed away. His older brother came down and ran it. I know because we played the last show there ever before his brother closed the doors.
