I was watching the first season of Hill Street Blues on DVD last night. Quite a few episodes were filmed in downtown Los Angeles. I noticed the Optic twice, and the Regent once. At one point, two cops were filmed talking in their car as they drove north on Main. If you slow down the speed, you can see every business on Main between 7th and 4th circa 1981.

I guess it depends on your interpretation. Timelines generally start at the beginning and go to the end. If it says Timeline – 1980-closed, I am assuming that’s a chronological progression. I could be wrong, but it’s hard to tell.

Noe problem.

This website has some locals reminiscing about the Pines as well as other long gone theaters in Tulsa:

An ad in the Freeman, an African-American newspaper, circa 1917, shows the address as 3451 South State Street. The ad describes the theater as “The Home of Colored Vaudeville”.

There must be a third one somewhere.

I believe this is the Bloomfield theater and not the one in Cedar Rapids:
