The Marquette movie Theatre building on West 63rd Street at SouthKedzie avenue. (Gone.) Chicago Illinois USA. March 1986.

I took this photo on the southwest side of Chicago,way back in March of 1986.

A 1980 vintage Ford school bus, prepares to turn left and head west on West 63rd Street, at the intersection of South Kedzie Avenue in Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood.

The building in the background, was the old and now very run down Marquette Movie Theatre building. Many commercial tenants were recieving eviction notices by this time, as many of the storefront businesses had placed going out of business clearance sale signs in their windows.

The Marquette Theatre building shown here, would finally be demolished in August of 1987.
