Nice pic. The elaborate parking neon I mentioned in an earlier post, would have been just North of the marquee & entrance. Possibly not even hung on the building yet at this time. Since it look like the “mall” conversion was in it’s beginning stages.
Nice Dodge Demon & rag top Ford though.
Oh, and the Pinto, well it would have been only a few years old a model in `73.
I’ll say. Complete with a 69 LeSabre at the meter. And what appears to be a68 Vette w/sidepipes?
The florist w/awning is where the Starbucks is now.
The next storefront just North of the florist is now a Thai place called Tiparo’s, for at least 10 years.
Thanks Ken Mc, that’s how I remember it. But much worse for wear by 1991.
That marquee was by then supported by multiple 2x4’s. They were bowing under the weight. And surprisingly no fence up.
Great photo source LTS!
I just pulled up one of the 3 Penny Cinema. Alas, no Playboy/Sandburg/Chelex pic to be found.
I might now just have to go back through all my CT theatres, and repost my notification status again.
Something I was avoiding.
P.S. To the left of the jeweler is a gangway that still goes straight through under the building to State St. & the parking entrance for 2 E. Oak.
There is also a side glass lobby door (locked) to Oak Bank just inside the gangway.
Oak Bank is the first floor tenant of the high rise condos, formerly rentals. I passed out flyers when Oak Bank opened in 1970.

Hey LTS, that site has 4 pics of the Nortown, since you are able to post them.

Just a reminder to CT administrators, that Chad’s 11/01/07 post has the Howard Theatre building as still standing.
Test.

Rather stately looking even when shuttered. Too bad it couldn’t have hung on until the “rebirth” of theater downtown.
Nice! With even the old Bismarck sign way down the street. And the rear of a mid `60’s Rambler tooling along. Thanks for posting.
