I think the bowling alley at 43rd and Kedzie was called Archer Kedzie bowl. Had to be one of the last alley’s to use “Pin Boys”.
As for the Brighton Theater, I recall when they showed “The House On Haunted Hill” the management advertised a surprise during the showing of the movie which turned out to be a skeleton sliding on a cable they had stretched across the auditorium that had everyone yelling. Brighton Park sure was a great neighborhood to live in back in the 50’s and 60’s. Too bad is such a terrible area today.
