sign from the pastThe Lindsey Theater was an elegant movie palace, with balcony, built in 1940 at Main and Avenue J. Saturday date night would find kids from all over the area standing in line for a popular movie. One could tell the various schools because the guys all wore their letter jackets. After the movie, we'd circle the Hi-D-Ho or A&W Rootbeer or the White Pig. You couldn't "circle" the new Char-King but had to park (#4 chili-cheese is what I ordered).
The theater was razed in 1997 and all that remains is this salvaged sign -- now at home in the bay of Tornado Gallery. Maybe I'll learn that story some day.
