My father was Carl Hoffman, and he managed the Omaha Theater in the 1960’s.

The earliest memories of my life include this theater. And from the eyes of an 8 year old, it was really a cool place to spend time.

I remember the deep maroon paisley carpeting. I remember the plastic orange containers of orange-drink that sat in a bowl of ice on the counter of the concession stand.

I remember the Balcony.

I remember Paxton Billiards next to it on the corner.

I’m sad about it not being there anymore as well. It was among the last of the “Old School” houses.
