THIS THEATRE WAS CALLED THE BELVEDERE THEATRE IN THE MID 1960’S. I KNOW BECAUSE I GREW UP IN DECATUR AND USED TO GO THE THIS THEATRE. THEY SHOWED FAMILY MOVIES, FROM WALT DISNEY TO ELVIS PRESLEY MOVIES. P.S. AND THIS IS NOT A RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
I REMEMBER GOING TO SEE THE WORLD PREMERE OF “SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT” AT THIS THEATRE. THEY HAD THE SEARCH LIGHTS ROAMING THE SKY. ON HAND WERE SOME OF THE STARS, BURT REYNOLDS AND HIS CREW WERE THERE. HE EVEN BROUGHT SOME STARS THAT WERE NOT IN THE MOVIE. ANYWAY THATS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT.
I will post a great photo as soon as the “add a photo” is fixed. posted by Dennis Whitefield
