Tower Theater

Caption under the photo, from today's local paper, The Herald & News:

"The Tower Theater, seen in this 1962 Herald and News file photo, stood on the northeast corner of South Sixth Street and Washburn way. Opened in 1941, it was demolished in 1988."

My mind's eye pictures this in the southwest corner, not the northeast. The memory is a tricky thing, especially when it's the memory of a 13-year-old. I can picture the neon lights and the top was especially exciting. The bland Rite Aid drugstore is in The Tower's place, sadly.

Your memories make me smile, Bea. For my little fib to my mother, I used, "I'm going to go study at the library with my friends." Then we would run around town like crazy girls. She always believed me. Ha! It's fun to know you were chewing gum, too! I saw Italian movies, of course La Dolce Vita when I was in high school and old enough to understand the sexy parts. Lol!

Grazie, dear Bea.

I know "Un homme et une femme" by Claude Lelouch. He made some good movies that I liked....
But the French movies probably are not on FOX TV I guess :)

Correction: I do not watch Fox News.
I do watch The Masked Singer! ;-)

Oh, I had to google that first. :-) Funny concept. Apparently, I could watch this on German television....
