Although the State Theater was located on Texas avenue in Lubbock, so was the Lyric which is actually the theater pictured on the post card on the above link and on my link on flickr.
My image of the AVALON sign was taken around 1:30 am on a dark and deserted Belmont street. Perhaps now galago can see why I termed it “lonely”. www.flickr.com/photos/lastpictureshow/256420407

Hey Robert. I lived in Lubbock for 30 years and must take exception to the demoltion of the Lindsey having been an improvement.
It was an outstanding movie theater icon and probably the last building standing in Lubbock that any character at all.
It is very short sided of any city to take a theater of this type, condition and era out. They can never be replaced.
