In 1961 our Dad was sent to Korea, so we moved to Springfield and lived at the 1500 block of W. High St. at the bottom of Dayton Ave. Mom would give my older brother and I a dollar to walk downtown to go see the Saturday kiddee matinee at the Liberty because it was the cheapest theater in town and showed the best kids movies. A ticket was a quarter and we each had another quarter to buy something at the snack bar. I loved walking up to the front of the Liberty. It was a special place and always had a cartoon or serial at the start of the show. If we had extra money (rarely) we would see a movie at the State or Majestic. The Regent was too expensive and usually showed the first-run movies. Thanks for showing the picture of a wonderful memory.
