The East Point Theater was across the railway tracks from Russell High School, on Church Street where it merged with Main Street.
The Russell Theater was on Jefferson Ave., across Jefferson from Russell High School. The Fairfax Theater was further Southeast down Main Street in East Point. The C & S Bank was the only business between the Fairfax and the intersection of Main and Thompson Ave. I lived in the early fifties on the corner of Thompson and Church St., and could walk to the Fairfax without crossing a street. It was 9-cents for a kid to see a double feature, cartoons, and a serial. I walked to Russell every day, from the eighth grade on mostly down Church Street, until I moved to Oklahoma in April 1959, my tenth grade. I would have been Russell class of ‘61 had I not moved to Oklahoma.
