There is no Main St in Gladbrook, so the map marker is up in Lincoln. This was likely somewhere on 2nd St.

The Golden Nugget Theatre opened its doors on February 12, 1966 with Jay North in “Zebra In The Kitchen”, and closed on October 5, 1969 with Walter Matthau in “A Guide For A Married Man” along with a cartoon due to increased freight/film charges and failed to draw major audiences.

Todd West operated the theater throughout its life, and was managed by the husband-and-wife team of Jim and Alma Gilchrist.
