Re: Berta Wright
Berta and her husband Ade were dear friends of my mothers for many years. My sister got the BW fabric (a screen print, I believe), but right beside me now is a 1950s lamp she made; within it is a tile

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
I was commenting on the Star's captions referring to Broadway as "street" instead of Blvd. which happened maybe a couple of months ago several times. My question is if this has been a recent change or

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
Hello Jeri,
Thanks for the link to the Star. Personally, if I wanted to know the origin of a Tucson street name, I'd rather just ask any old person at random, and see if they know.
Okay, I guess

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
It was called Camp Street before it was changed to Broadway Blvd. The captions I'm referring to that called it "Broadway Street" accompanied photos posted earlier this year. I'm actually asking the

Maybe Broadway was a street sometime in the past. But I'd guess it's like newcomers saying Wilmont Road.

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
I saved some info from an Star timecapsule feature I found online a few years ago. The theater was converted to the City Club Gym in the spring of 1983. Sorry, but I can't find the link.

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
I thought the same thing when I saw that story, and remembered going to
those theaters. Wasn't KRQ, et al, there too?

Converted to a gym in 1981. KNST was right upstairs and we had a back door

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
Thanks! I took a lot of dates there in my high school and college days. I don't remember the movies (or the dates for that matter) but I remember the theater!

Re: La Placita theater in the '70's?
Yeah, it was called the La Placita Cinema 3 meaning 3 theaters. It was in the basement and was converted to a gym around 1984. Not surprised that the Star didn't know this.

La Placita theater in the '70's?
An article in the Star on Sunday asserted that a new movie theater downtown will show first-run movies for the first time in 40 years--since the Fox Theater closed in 1974. Wasn't there a La Placita
