Wow. What a trip down memory lane I’m having now. Even though I’m on 37 years old, I strongly remember the Alex Theater. I think it closed in the late 70’s. Anyway, we used to go to this theater and see 3 movies for a dollar!!! If you were over 11 years old, the price was $1.75. Most of the classic Black exploitation movies of the 70’s were often playing at the Alex. I used to see some great Kung-Fu and a occasional horror flick at this theater. Sad to say, the neighborhood in which this theater was in started to decline in the 70’s, and the place either closed or was burned down, I can’t remember for sure.
