Great picture! I went to the show every weekend. I stayed into the evening and watched the movies twice – I loved this show! I saw Gidget there, The Parent Trap with Haley Mills, The Blob, Godzilla, and hundreds more. I took that bus with my Mom so many times. Crossing the street to the right of the theatre, there was a Mom & Pop market, they sold the best hot French bread rolls and sweet bread, next door to that was a laundry-matt where I helped out and stood many hours there on a Saturday washing the family’s clothes. Further down there was a dime store that I loved browsing, and down the street was the church where I made my First Communion. Then on the opposite side of City Terrace Drive was the library, sometimes I would walk there after school from Harrison Elementary school on the other side of the theatre. I got my first library card there. Harrison was a great school. Good teachers, I learned a lot there. I can still remember staying at the show for so long engrossed in the movies and forgetting about the time and having to walk home in the dark and be in trouble for coming home so late. Years later, Mom said when she was young, she went to the movies and stayed there too-loving the show! Thank you for the picture!
