The marquee for the Palace Bowl is relatively nondescript when compared to the Town Hall above.

UPDATE 09/05 : The front of this bowling alley was used in the movie Uncle Buck with John Candy. The movie showed the front of the place when Candy was headed to bowl....although the inside as I recall wasn't actually used. Many thanks to Richard Falk for update. 09-05

UPDATE 12/06 : Here's an update on the status of the Palace Bowl in Cicero, IL. Sadly, the city of Cicero, IL bought the entire building for 1.5 million and demolished it in the Summer of 2005. As of now, its unoccupied land. Many thanks to Doug Harland for update. 12-06
