I used to frequent all the Chicago area drive-ins in the 70’s and 80’s, and I know I was at the Sheridan a couple of times but I can’t recall what it looked like. Does anyone have any pictures of the place?
I miss the Coral. I think the last time I was there was in ‘82 to see Rocky III. I remember that because me and my friends were always cheering for Mr. T (Clubber Lang) and we got some strange looks from the other patrons! It was a very nice theatre, and unique compared to even the other great Chicago theaters on the south side such as the Brighton, Colony, and Marquette.
I loved the Brighton Theater. I grew up there, watching probably 90% of the movies I’ve seen in my life at that theater. When they demolished it, I grabbed a whole box full of the facade to keep as a memorial of sorts and to share with friends who also wanted a piece.
I’ve had no luck getting pictures of the inside of the theater from the 70’s, and would just about donate a body organ to obtain some. :–)
Does anyone have any ideas of where I might find pictures of the inside? Surely they must exist!
Wow! Brian, those are some fantastic pics! Thanks so much! :–)
