In the last post I mentioned the Shorpy Photograph taken in January 1942 along Dallas' Theater Row on Elm Street. It was all alight, even with blackouts on in parts of the United States, evidently not here.
The Majestic Theatre is the last remnant of the city's Theater Row, the historic entertainment district along Elm Street.
It was constructed for $2 million in 1920 and opened in 1921.
Most of the other theaters and places of entertainment, evidently some of them a bit questionable, were gone by the 1970s.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
