Hey Carlos,If you may recall a lot of businesses were
Cactus Corporation and well reknowned partner was Hugh
Downs.Still nobody has information on Bowling Alley in
Hidden Valley or Ranch owned by Roger McClusky.

Hi All,
Posting some scans of movie ads from the Dec. 1st,
1954 Arizona Daily
Star. I didn't count, but there may have actually
been more drive-ins
than indoor theaters back then.
Note that the De Anza was originally called the
Cactus Drive-In.
I don't see an ad for the Apache.
More scans in the Photos section.
These yellowed 1954 newspaper fragments have another
significance.
We recently rescued them from inside the ruins of
Tucson's first
airport. You can still see the metal skeletons of
the old airplane
hangars by looking southwest from the corner of Kino
and 36th. At the
site, you can find evidence of even older wooden
hangars. If it's
quiet, you can almost hear the sound of the
propeller-driven planes
taking off and landing on the packed-caleche
runways.
The city was using the hangars for storage until
recently. They are
now completely abandoned and will certainly be gone
soon.
Carlos
