I'm delighted that you joined Harold, and that you provided that wonderful bit of information!
I didn't know WKKC was in my beloved Englewood theater's spot! Wow!!!! That was our thing, going up to 63rd and going to Sears first to get our allowance on Fridays from my mother. Then me and my baby sister would make the circuit--Huck Finns and Woolworths and a movie. I remember meeting Richard Kiel (Jaws from the 007 movies) at The Empress. Those were the days!
I sure wish I had a pic of the theaters before they were demolised. WELCOME!
