Thanks everyone for making my day talking about Montebello and the Garmar. The Vogue was okay in the fifties and cheap. But the Saturday kiddie matinee at the Garmar was some of my best childhood memories.
Two movies and cartoons, Crazy races and usually like a 3 stooges short or something for like 25 cents. My last year at the Garmar was 1959 I think. The ice cream place on the corner by the Jr. high was Zestos and I remember the Monster sodas. My oldest brother worked there in 1955. Curry’s had booths with little juke box machines in them and a counter. It was alot like Happy Days.
Thaks again for bringing back good memories.
