This is the former Port Theatre in LaPorte, Texas. I’m not sure when it closed because I moved away from this area; during the late 1980’s. About five years ago; it was still a church. I saw Old Yeller, That Darn Cat, My Fair Lady, and Bullet at this theatre. It was a nice theatre back then. When I was twelve years old; I drew a picture of the theatre and mailed it to the manager. I received a letter back from the manager. He told me the picture was on the wall of his office and he sent me free passes to everyone in my family; to use at his theatre. I miss those years. Times were better and people weren’t in a hurry like they are now.
