It was a bowling alley for a while. Evergreen Bowl. I lived on Julian St. nearby from 41 to 62. It was our family night theatre growing up and have a lot of fond memories of the theatre and the neighborhood.
Patiomike, aware of LaSalle, been there several times and only 3 bucks for me. These are the real oldies which I love. However it’s 8 at nite and sometimes especially in bad weather not doable.
Couple years back saw Tarzan Of The Apes. I don’t drive. Hope Patio makes a comeback in some form.
Just visited there for the first time to see Zodiac. Love the atmosphere of the town and for 2 bucks total of 5 for pop corn, etc. you can’t beat the price. I don’t drive though, my daughter took me. The train ride would be worth it if I made a day of it looking around. Lots of places nearby for shopping and eating.
Alex, really miss this theatre. Logan is my place now for movies as I am on fixed income. Of course, now my grandkids work and pay for their own movies. If I drove I might be going to the LaGrange theatre more often. It’s another good buy but too far for me.
Also the Village Art which is closed now. I dreamed of having my own theatre that showed all the old movies yet again on the big screen. Thank God for the Outdoor Film Festival 7/17 to 8/28
I am a 70 year old Chicagoan and every day I think what’s next. When you are my age it is so sad to see my world disappearing into what I call the seniors twilight zone because it seems surreal. Only those with a long Chicago histoy would understand.
Of course I believe it is the sign of the times due to our love affair with cars and easy transportation. Not much parking in that area. I ride buses and also live ½ block from North Ave and this was a very easy place to visit.

PS Still waiting to hear about the Patio on Irving Park Road
I am a Chicago grandmother who took her 4 grandkids to the Patio to see movies like Lion King, etc.
I remember the reason being one of economy and of course loving the big screen and single screen theatres of days gone by. Was the minimal admission a factor in it closing? Believe it was 2 bucks in the 1990’s.
Would a higher admission have averted some of the problems? Just curious.
I elieve he theatre is closed for renovation

Correction, had a senior moment. Meant to address Patiomike.

I don’t live far and visit the Logan on the average of twice monthly. As a retiree you can’t beat the 3 buck admission.
Saw Wild Hogs last week during the day of course. Really don’t go in the evening much. Waiting to see if Zodiac appears.
As far as the neighborhood as most keep changing. As with my ‘hood which is Humboldt Park, property values rising but that’s another subject.
