This was a really nice theater in its original single screen form! It would have made a very nice concert venue as well (if it had a stage). It lost its charm when they sliced it up. I saw the Beatles “Yellow Submarine” in the original theater. Saw several midnight flicks there as well. “This Is Elvis” was last film I saw there in the 3rd screen addition in the back.
Incredible photo! I grew up there in the 60’s and never saw what the area across Route 66 looked like before they built Crestwwod Mall. I saw “Easy Rider” there!
