I’m not really sure why whoever posted this said it closed in the 50’s. It was closed around 1984. A local preacher started a campaign to have it shut down for showing r rated movies. If I remember correctly he squawked so much and him and his congregation harassed patrons to the point where sales declined so much that the owner was eventually forced to shut down from lack of business. They even did a story about the whole thing on entertainment tonight and were interviewing kids at the local school.
The address is gibberish. This is like saying the address is Interstate. A Farm to Market Road always has a number (FM 1960, for instance). In addition, this must have an actual street name when it runs through town.
I remember seeing that Entertainment Tonight story. Very interesting.
One of Google Maps' less charming features is calling roads by numbers that hardly anyone uses. Real address here is 408 South Main Street.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates looking at a streetview of downtown and getting state highway or county road designations.
