Ha! I remember seeing ads for X-rated movies alongside the regular movies in the Chicago Tribune back in the late 70’s. My mom would flip out because we’d be snickering and laughing at the titles (“Debbie Does Dallas”) and grab the paper from us and then she’d look for the movie times herself!
Now as a parent to 3 boys myself, the Internet looms large with adult content so severe that it makes those old ads seem like cartoons!
I saw “The Apple Dumpling Gang” at the Coronet!

I went on quite a few dates there back in high school. I remember also going to the bowling alley next door for birthday parties and then to Barnaby’s for pizza! Does anyone remember the restaurant that used to be across the street from there that was in an old train car? Victoria’s Station? There was also a Holiday Inn a few buildings down as well. (My older brother used to go there for prom parties!)
