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

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:

The demolition video reminded me of those time-elapsed shots on the Discovery Channel where they show a dead zebra turning into a skeleton.
What’s with you and the marquees? Can’t we see the rest of the theater? Gee whiz.

So the theater was demolished and replaced by a mini-mall, but no demolition date as of yet? Anyone know?
Very good, thanks.
Why the name? Any ideas? Too far from the beach?
Anybody want to loan me 2K for a ticket?
