Note the Danielson’s Food Store (Arlington, it says) truck going toward and the 1950 Chevrolet Coupe coming from the Center.

We’re working on removing the folds from the image.

“The Barn” Exterior (after name change to Studio Cinema)

Photo provided by Ted O’Connell, source unknown

“Strand Theater” changed its name to “Studio Cinema” in 1965, according to Ted. This photo was taken, probably, in or after 1972, since the only likely “Emma” (out of many movies of that title) was a British art film of that year.

Call it what they might, it was and still is: “The Bahn.”
