I used to frequent all the Chicago area drive-ins in the 70’s and 80’s, and I know I was at the Sheridan a couple of times but I can’t recall what it looked like. Does anyone have any pictures of the place?

I miss the Coral. I think the last time I was there was in ‘82 to see Rocky III. I remember that because me and my friends were always cheering for Mr. T (Clubber Lang) and we got some strange looks from the other patrons! It was a very nice theatre, and unique compared to even the other great Chicago theaters on the south side such as the Brighton, Colony, and Marquette.

VintageBob commented about Brighton Theatre on Oct 10, 2006 at 3:21 am

I loved the Brighton Theater. I grew up there, watching probably 90% of the movies I’ve seen in my life at that theater. When they demolished it, I grabbed a whole box full of the facade to keep as a memorial of sorts and to share with friends who also wanted a piece.

I’ve had no luck getting pictures of the inside of the theater from the 70’s, and would just about donate a body organ to obtain some. :–)

Does anyone have any ideas of where I might find pictures of the inside? Surely they must exist!
