I remember on the west side of the Muse was Christian Noble Furs, which is now located in Regency Fashion Court. I was old enough to go to the Muse when it was open, but never did. People said so many negative comments since it was an adult theater. Though, I did work with someone who did janitorial work when the theater was closed. He said it was always a mess, especially the floor in the screen area. He didn’t go into much detail on what he meant and I don’t think he wanted to explain much further.
The UP Center is located on 15th & Douglas. The Rialto Theater was located on the corner and it showed movies. Later the building contained the men’s store Tully’s. The only movie I saw at the Omaha was “Jaws”. Now that entire block is a parking garage. Downtown Omaha is now just a mass of parking lots & parking garages. I’ve lived here all my life and am very disappointed with the lack of historical preservation and seeing memorable buildings being demolished.
Lots of memories of this theater from the 70’s. The Poseidon Adventure, American Graffiti, etc. I believe the owner was the man who took the tickets. He wore a red blazer, white shirt, & black bow tie. He was the nicest man, treated customers like royalty. Something no one does these days.
