My father is from Shawnee, I spent alot of time there as a kid. For many years, my grandfather, J.W. “Bill” Poole, ran the theaters in Shawnee, including the Ritz, the Hornbeck, the Bison, and back in that day there was the Starlight drive in theater. I saw many movies at these theaters as a kid, and have many fond memories of them. The employees of the theaters always treated me like a VIP when I told them I was Bill Poole’s grandson
