The last movie I saw at the Senate was Tommy, a Rock Opera. It wasn’t even packed, but there were at least a couple hundred people in attendance. A few minutes after intermission, the electricity went out and the theater had to be evacuated.
I seem to recall that one time the Tivoli Thearer, around the corner on 5th Street, was being remodeled and they piled stuff on top of the Senate roof and it collapsed.
When I look at this picture I remember the Senate It was demolished when I was a kid. I also seem to recall Tom & Sally’s..didnt they have a store entrance on 5th street and that building burned down in the early 80’s. Also what was the name of the store at that same corner- I just remember when is was going out of business. It would be great to see pics of the corner building and also along 5th street- where the Tivoli was once.
Seeing the Senate from then is giving me “Rocky Horror” flashbacks…
