It's part of a small family-owned chain, Classic Cinemas, in the Chicago area that owns most of the old "downtown" movie palaces in the suburbs - Elmhurst, LaGrange, etc.

I likely disagree with the politics of the owners.... but they employ people with special needs and everyone is always friendly, etc.

With the recent upgrades, they have a couple rooms with good projection and comfy seats.

When I really want something special, I'll go to The Music Box.
