My mother, brother and I moved in with my grandparents in 1953 on 12th Avenue, 2-½ blocks west of the Garden Theater. I lived in the area until graduating from high school in 1966 and going into the service. I only knew the place as the Garden Theater. As a child I remember being able to get into the movie, buy popcorn and/or candy and a soda for under a dollar. It was a comfortable place to view the great movies of the time and take a date. I do not remember what year it closed but I am pretty sure it was after 1966. It’s only competition within a ten-mile radius was the Majestic Theater in Cudahy, and the 41-Twin Outdoor Theater in Franklin.
My mother, brother and I moved in with my grandparents in 1953 on 12th Avenue, a block and a half north of the theater. I was seven at the time. The theater was in decline and closed soon after that.
