I worked at the Homewood Theater 1959/1960, while going to HF High School. It was a great little place to work, I started at a whopping .75 per hour and got a raise to .85. One of the “dreaded” tasks was changing the marquee, at 10pm, in the icy cold winters. I used to love working the Saturday matinees, seeing all the old westerns, which I now am watching all over again, on the westerns channel on Cable…LOL!!! I have seen them all!! I bought my first “Elvis” record at the Melody Mart, next door. I totally agree with Beadee, above, the folks of the Homewood/Flossmoor area should have kept up their support of that unique little theater..it was a treasure!
