See a Holiday Classic at the Renovated Historic Pickwick Theater

The historic Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, Illinois (Chicago suburb) is celebrating its 90th anniversary in style. The theater screened the Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street.

I attended one of the screenings of the film and it was a a great experience to see this classic on a giant screen. The locals filled up the first of two screenings on Wednesday December 19.

The Pickwick is a family owned theater. Art Deco movie palace has been newly refurbished with a giant 1,700-square-foot screen, Dolby 7.1 surround sound and new state-of-the-art RealLaser projection for a larger, more vivid on-screen experience in its 898-seat Megatheatre. The Megatheatre now boasts one of the largest movie theater screens remaining in Illinois.

For those of you in the Chicago area and those visiting, take a ride to Park Ridge and check out this theater. To all you Chicago area locals familiar with the Music Box, this theater has a similar vibe and look.
