Another Plitt Theatre!
One more thing: If you use Google Earth (not Maps), and input the above address(es), you can view historical Satellite data. The Mar 30 1994 map shows the theatre and Shopping Center in their former glory (Old Chicago was long gone at that time). The next date available is Apr 10 1998, and it’s all gone. Amazing how much changed in that short period.
Argh. My last comment wasn’t clear about the location of the theatre. If you go a couple hundred feet north of the intersection of: Stevenson and Old Chicago Dr., you’ll be standing where the theatre was. It is now a street.
Actually, the Menards is no longer there (it moved up north on Rt 53). Here’s where it all was: the Bolingbrook Theatre was located behind The Old Chicago Town Shopping Center, which was across the street (Rt. 53) from Old Chicago, which was an indoor amusement park. Everything was torn down (not all at the same time) except the K-Mart in the Shopping Center, which became the Menards that jimpiscitelli referenced above. To reference it all in Google Maps:
The only thing I know that it was located in the shopping center (in which a Menards store is located) on the East side of Rte. 53 and South of I-55. It was a small (kind of like a shoebox type of building) and it was located in the back of the shopping center.
On what parcel of land was this theatre?,what is on it’s site now?
This theater opened siamultanously with the Orland Square theater.
