Any idea where the Plaza Theater was in NE Philadelphia? I can’t find it on CT, but I think I’m looking under the wrong name. Any help would be great. http://tinyurl.com/6ytpqh
I took 66 from LA to Chicago two years ago. I don’t remember seeing Jerome at all, which is odd. I did take the spur that goes through Oatman, so that may be the reason. Anyway, here is a site with more photos: http://tinyurl.com/6q5us9
Looks good to me. Thanks.
It didn’t work for me. Can you post it again?
Thanks. I saw the Traymore implode when I was in sixth grade. That’s the large hotel seen in the distance.
OK, thanks.

I wish I could help. I went to traffic school in Montebello about twelve years ago, and haven’t been back since.
Those crafty Canadians won’t let me copy this photo so the link won’t fail. Here is the third version of the 1934 photo:
