Lost Memory—that’s it! Steve, thanks for the memories! As a lifelong resident of Macomb, I truly miss the Illinois Theatre. I remember when there was a concession stand between the restrooms, far beyond the main entrance. Also, the old ladies room was a long hallway that slanted down and curved to the west. That’s back when it was only one theatre. I love this town, and I love reading the history of the Illinois. I’ve only been to the old Illinois twice since it’s now the Forum, but I believe the dome is still covered. The Forum has done a total transformation and the movie balcony is now gone (boo), but there’s a ¾ balcony and it’s still a nice place. Thanks!
Does anyone have pics of the Lark Theatre in Macomb? I would love to have copies if you do. ~Terri
