What to do with a bag downtown?

I have a bit of a dilemna.... a friend is getting into town this evening and we'll be heading more or less directly to a show (fiona Apple at Bank of America theater.) She's in town a few days and will have some sort of small piece of baggage.

I had kind of assumed it would be like Chicago symphony where you can just leave anything in a coat check, but now I'm starting to worry that it will be more like the Aragon or The Vic where they will just plain turn your bag away. The theater has no number that you can call to ask a live person.

Anyone know for sure that we'll be able to check it at the theater?

Or, have any other ideas? We'll be near Union Station initially-- do they still have some sort of lockers like in the olden days where you can leave your stuff? Would you be able to get back to it at 10:30 or 11 or whatever?

Union has them. The station itself is open 24 hours, as I recall, to accommodate Amtrack

Thanks Bez.

I did find an "emergency number" and tried it- a live person answered and they said it could be checked at the theater... hopefully no mad dash back across the loop to Union station and then back to the theater...
