Uploaded the image to which I referred to almost five years ago. Oh, well. The Crystal is furthest left in this group of buildings. If you really enlarge it you can actually see “crystal” across the façade. Picture shows a fire further down the row of buildings. Probably the eventual fate of the Crystal.
Photo of the Edwards as a garage; Edwards garage. Hence the name. And it’s the Main Street Garage meaning this picture was taken after the building had been moved from another part of town.
Aerial view uploaded. The dark roof portion is the indoor cinema and refreshment stand of the original All Weather Drive In. The white portion is the add on to create the multiplex.
Been there once. Cavernous. Went for a so called Senior Day price but they don’t observe that here. It was interesting to watch it being built. The two sides that house the auditoriums were built first with a big space in the middle which then became the lobby.
