The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Dallas' Theater Row: The Majestic Theatre

From Wikipedia.

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.
