I just bought a Nostalgia Magazine with Bob Hope on the cover. This triggered memories for me. My mother took me to see Bob Hope at the Stratford Theatre. We also saw Abbott and Costello there, who did their hospital sketch. I wish I knew what year this happened.
We shopped occasionally at 63rd & Halstead. I went to Sawyer Ave. School and Gage Park High.
We had our choice of the Acadia, Colony, Marquette or HiWay theaters back then. During the 50’s, the Acadia featured “dish nite” during the week.
