My uncle ran that theatre for a while. I think it was about 1959-1961. I worked as a cashier. My mom opened a little Mexican cafĂ© next door. Sundays were our real busy day with Cartoons, serials, previews and double features! Later on he showed Mexican movies, but only like 1 or 2 days a week. As you walked into the theatre seating, the first 5 rows were huge lounging chairs. The rest were regular seats. I never went upstairs except only once to see the projection room. The door outside the theatre led upstairs. I don’t know if it was living quarters or not. Down the street was a fire station and next door was a hamburger place I think was called Freddies Firehouse. Now that was a hamburger!!
