Thanks so much for the tip on the B&K book. Just ordered it through Amazon (one of their affiliates had it for 12.85). I’m still looking for a really great pictures showing the Terminal marquis looking east along Lawrence Avenue. I know it exists, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Hi, Mike! Thanks for the note. My Dad was the basketball coach at Von back in the 50s. Brings back lots of memories. I too remember the 25c shows, I used to get 25c for the show and 15c for popcorn or a Coke and candy. Incredible! Take care …
The best photo I’ve ever seen was hanging in a little deli on Clark Street, near the Century. It closed in 1988 or 89, and I was too late finding someone who could help me get the photo. I think it was from the Chicago Hisytaorical Society, or perhaps the old Bettman Archives. I’ve been trying to track it down ever since. Good luck!
I am seeking a photograph of Lawrence Avenue featuring the Terminal Theater, circa 950, black and white, facing west down Lawrence. I know it exists — it used to be in a Clark Street restaurant, now closed. Any help?

Hi, Jackye! My Dad was Hy Perelgut, who coached at Von in the early 50s. Did you know him?

PS — I agree about the stores, they don’t seem to have any interiors. Massive renovations?
Neat! I grew up at Kimball and Ainsle, a block north of Lawrence. Went to Hibbard grade school. Are you from the same neighborhood? Thanks …
Hi, Brian! Can’t really help with the question, however entrances can and have been moved. Good luck!
Hi, Brian!
Thank you for finding this picture. It’s not the one I originally saw, but it’s perfect!
Best regards,
Barry
