My Uncle Eddie, Edward Forgarty, was a part-time ticket taker in his retirement at the Family Theater on the main drag in Port Huron. The plan was this: my friends and I would stroll in just before the Saturday matinee and immediately go downstairs to the bathroom. After gathering our nerve, we would go up past Uncle Eddie into the movie for free, with his exaggerated wink.
I remember movies like Forbidden Planet, It Came from Beneath the Sea, Creature from the Black Lagoon….boy, am I that old?
Ahhh, the good old days… Wes Slack
It does look like a movie screen. I wonder what they use it for. Maybe a slideshow? This place appears to be a restaurant, bar, and night club all rolled into one.
It looks like the screen is still at the end of the auditorium in one of the photos.
The building is 100 years old according to this link, so it should be the same building. Function could be restaurant or bar or something similar.
This is the website for the restaurant called the Huron Athletic Club located at this address. They advertise a “Unique bi level balcony dance club” and yet they give a build date of 1993. I’m not sure if the restaurant is in the theater building or if they built a new building in 1993.
No, just the reviews. They said the food was OK.
This address is a restaurant? Any photos?
There are recent (June 2007) reviews of the Huron Athletic Club Restaurant at this address.
I’m not sure if there was more than one Family Theater in Port Huron, but a Wurlitzer theater organ opus 111 was installed in a Family Theater on 11/27/1916.
