Wow, I grew up right around the corner in Buri Buri. My parents took me to the El Rancho almost every weekend, I’d pack up my blanket and watch in the back of mom’s 68 Barracuda – I can remember many movies but the scariest one I remember was Jaws, think I was about 8. What great memories…
Attn: Magic Lantern – does the historical society actually have the mirrored murals from the candy counter? Do you know how to get in touch with them?
Gary Parks – the phone booth your friend has, is it for sale? Any other items available.
Sorry to all that I have not gotten around to the family photo archives to post some old pics – I promise I have not forgotten and will get to it as soon as I can.
Thank you
I believe the family has some shots of the pile of rubble taken last Monday or Tuesday, we’ll try to get them online soon. We were just discussing the many memories of the family yesterday. Also, we will try to get some family photos from the 50’s & 60’s of the family working there up soon.
Well, it’s a very sad day for the Sullivan Family. My husband’s grandfather had owned and operated The Palm way back before it became an adult theater. I often see pictures and hear great stories of how all the children worked and played there over the years. Sadly, we were not able to get there in time to get one last glimpse of the beauty it was. Though I believe some family members had been there over the last year. My husband always talks about how he remembered the smell, sounds, and especially the etched mirrors & phone booth from his childhood. If anyone has more pics or info on where some of these memorabilia ended up, please let me know.
Well, The Palm Theater is now gone, sad to say. My husband’s Grandfather had owned and operated it before it turned to an “adult cinema” and all his children have very fond memories of working there and just hanging out there. The Sullivan family will miss having that truly historic building around.
