As I can recall, after the theater was sold and demolished, a Mobil gas station was built there. I can remember they had a new style of gas pumps. They were round, like a cylinder.
In 1969 the rock band I was in called, “Sin” played a battle of the bands there. There was 6 bands in the competition and the master of ceremonies was WCFL’s Jerry Kay, I am proud to say that Sin took first place. The interior of the theater was beautiful with many crystal chandeliers.
To Brian Krefft,There was a small movie theater on Armitage on the south side of the street a half a block west of Cicero. I’m not sure but I think the name was The Avondale. Do you have any information on this location or theater by that name?
Anyone know the special occasion that called the theater to have the bunting on display?
