In the middle of downtown Park Ridge, it is impossible to not spot the tower of the Pickwick Theatre, which is an Art Deco builtin 1928, and was named to the National Register of Historic Places. Although smaller theaters have been added to the rear of the building, the main auditorium theater remains intact in its original large five-aisle state. The main auditorium can seat up to 1,400 people. In the 1980’s, the Pickwick’s facade was one of many used as the backdrop for the opening credits of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert’s At the Movies.
