A group member brought up the Edens Theatre, so I dug around for a little info and background on it. It was on Skokie Blvd. in I believe Northbrook, Illinois. The Edens Theater — the remarkable midcentury modern movie house that was demolished far too soon — lives again in this video I just found on YouTube. Built in 1963 and designed by Chicago architecture firm Perkins & Will, the futuristic theater sat on Skokie Boulevard at the Edens Expressway in Northbrook and was one of the most visible landmarks on the North Shore. Its concrete hyperbolic paraboloid roof was once the largest in the world. The theater was demolished in 1994 with its razing aggravated by the indignity of having screened Jean Claude Van Dammes Time Cop just before its doors closed. https://youtube/watch?v=HPVwzY19eEU
