My brothers, Bob and Brendy would spend every Sat. morning in the theatre; no need for babysitters then. My family still has the depression glass and china given as gifts to movie goers. We went to St. Brigid’s from kindergarten until 1952. We lived at 256 Palmetto St. I found your site trying to find my family history. Anyone remember the great chinese restaurant over the EL across from the theatre? Other names in the area that I remember, Raymond Rourke, Margaret Rey and Sister Johanna. I will check my old photos for more memories of those carefree days.
What a great trip back! My brothers and I spent every Sat. in the theatre; no babysitters needed! I went to St. Brigid’s from kindergarten until 1952; lived at 256 Palmetto St. Found your site looking for my family history, the Schaefer’s and Pfundstein’s. Remember the great chinese restaurant over the El across from the theatre? I still have the depression glass they gave out to my parents and grandparents. Does anyone know Raymon Rorke, Margaret Rey or remember Sister Johanna?, Thanks, Pat
