The new October issue Chicago Magazine (www.chicagomag.com) features a six-page article about the White Way Sign and Maintenance Company which has kept the lightbulbs shining brightly on Chicagoland’s movie house marquees since 1923. The article includes a number of incredible vintage black and white photos of theater marquees, including the Garrick, Woods, and Oriental Theatres in Chicago’s Loop.

There were two theaters in Roseland that I attended as a young boy..One was the Verdi, on 115th Pl or 114th St and the other was The Ridge on West Pullman..do you have any information on these two Theaters?
