Winslow Theater

I just read my Jan. 28th post and realize now why the hotel would have a poster in their lobby as the same man, Allen Afeldt owns both establishments in a town made famous in a song that has these words in its lyrics….“standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona”! Hope to see some photos sometime as it is art deco and theatres with that exterior design are usually quite ‘cool’!

I drove by yesterday and took photos of the exterior, which I’ll post here if that function ever becomes available. Nothing too special about the exterior. There’s no new marquee as of now, just the theater name painted over the front doors. On Labor Day night, they were showing “Dukes of Hazzard,” which has been open for more than a month, and not gettting too many customers. I saw a couple walk up to buy tickets a half-hour after the announced starting time, and it appeared that they had been holding the film for them, so I think they may have been the only attendees. But I sure hope they make a go of it, and not just so that I can go back and check out the interior when I have fewer driving hours ahead of me. The hotel (La Posada) does have a poster in the lobby for the film that’s playing a few blocks away, so at least all the arriving customers at that venerable establishment will know about it.
