kencmcintyre commented about Hiland Theater on Mar 23, 2007 at 10:24 pm

This photo was in the Eberson 1947 book. The text doesn’t give the location, but it doesn’t look like the Hilands in Albuquerque or Michigan.

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 10:34 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.
