You can never have enough drugstores, that’s what I always say. In Los Angeles we have a Walgreens every hundred feet or so.

kencmcintyre commented about Normana Theater on Mar 18, 2007 at 3:34 pm

One source cites the Liberty Theater in El Campo as being currently occupied by an antiques store. Googling produces Prairie Switch Antiques at 708 N. Mechanic Street. Either Liberty was an aka for the Normanna or alternatively the theaters were adjacent.

Seating in 1948 was 594. The building was constructed to replace the old Opera House, later called the Kootenai theater, which burned to the ground. Here is a 1948 photo:

kencmcintyre commented about Teatro Municipal de Valparaiso on Mar 18, 2007 at 12:15 pm

There was also an MGM/Loews theater in Valparaiso in 1948. I don’t think it was the same theater as the Teatro Municipal:
