My aunt and uncle own a leather and fur store just down the block from this corner (further "forward" into the picture). I remember the theater was still there, though closed, when my relatives first set up shop on that block. My cousin and I were up on the roof one day and walked over to the theater's roof.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2007/12/14/chicagoist_wayb_8.php#comment-1251874 http://chicagoist.com/2007/12/14/chicagoist_wayb_8.php#comment-1251874 Comments Fri, 14 Dec 2007 11:14:50 -0600 <p> I grew up (in the 70s) going to the Coral Theater near my house at 95th and Cicero. They tore it down in 1985 to make a strip mall. Sigh. http://www.lib.oak-lawn.il.us/graphics/8704003.jpg</p> http://chicagoist.com/2007/12/14/chicagoist_wayb_8.php#comment-1251803 http://chicagoist.com/2007/12/14/chicagoist_wayb_8.php#comment-1251803 Comments Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:58:28 -0600 <p>I think I had it better watching Ghostbusters at the Bel-Air drive-in in Cicero. They showed Breakin' and Purple Rain that evening, as well. </p>
