Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Broadway Theatre on Feb 7, 2011 at 9:48 am

Why not use 117 North Broadway Avenue as the address? That’s pretty close and gets it to the block rather than the entire street in Melrose Park. If anyone ever comes up with a closer address it can always be changed.

A better address, more info and photos are always welcome.

Not crIOx,

I spelled it wrong. A French name on what was an Island of Denmark, which is now an Island of the United States, got me a little confused. The Map was also confused, it showed the Southeren United States and the Caribbean, not very helpful!
