42nd Street vs. Chi-Town, part two!

Jon Putnam sent in the Chicago movie listings for this week in 1979, highlighting the grindhouses in the Loop and some of the more colorful theaters in the outlying areas. I thought it would be interesting to dig up the 42nd Street line-up for the same week and pit the two monsters against each other. Enjoy!
