I used to go to this theater faithfully every week-end with friends(Hey, Robert Whittle and Joey M…Where are you now?)This theater could have rivaled any theater in Los Angeles or Hollywood at the time. I have not been back to the area in over 35 years, but have many fond memories of growing up on Monte Vista and Ave 52.
I grew up in Highland Park and do remember this small theater. It was located in now what used to be an annex of People’s Dept. store, in the area that sold cards and ladies fragrances. The Highland Theater also brings back many good memories-after the movies, we’d either go to Fosselmans Ice Cream Parlor or across the street to the Italian Pizza Restaurant(across the alley from Mr. T’s), walk home very late at night and never had to worry about gangs—-Sorry times
changed and went bad for Highland Park—-It was like Mayberry growing up. reneei44
