DavidZornig commented about GENESEE Theatre; Waukegan, Illinois. on May 26, 2024 at 10:21 am

This photo is not from May 25, 1977. That photo is from Waukegan’s Scoop The Loop car cruise, the night that footage was shot for a teaser trailer for the film “5-25-77” per the film’s writer and director Patrick Read Johnson. That marquee was replaced for it’s 2004 reopening, and that Mustang is an `89. “Star Wars” did not open there on that date either. It opened at the Genesee Theatre on June 15, 1977.

See the August 29, 2005 comment from a local resident. It says the entire mall was torn down at the same time. Cinzzetti’s appears from street view to be a shorter structure.
