It’s interesting, but I remember as a child in the 60’s parked in front of the “Park Theatre” waiting to pick up my dad off the train. I still remember the name and the building because there was nothing else to do but stare out the window while waiting for Dad. At that time the theater is all closed and boarded up and seemed to be pretty small….then at some point (maybe 1972)it was gone seemingly overnight…
Hello, My aunt was the manager of the Fannie Mae Candy store on the corner of the Berwyn Theater building up until the building closed after the restaurant fire. She had worked there for decades and I can remember another aunt or my mom taking me into that store as a child to see her and getting a free piece of candy…and her children, my cousins, used to go to the theater with a bag of Fannie Mae candy instead of the cheaper stuff sold on site…this also seems so long ago…I now live in Wisconsin, but Berwyn and the Berwyn Theater were a big part of my younger years…
