  1. The Village Theater was showing regular movies at least until August of 1977 when "the Spy Who Loved Me" was showing. I saw it there at least four times. A family down the street had me take their kids to see it, and the kids liked it so much that we saw it a bunch of times. There always was a porn theater around somewhere. At that time, I think it was near the alley behind the One's a Meal. I think it moved there from somewhere else in the Village a few years before that. Growing up there from the 60's to 80's, the Village always struck me as being designed for walking, as well as driving. It was the same concept that you now see in shopping centers that have the apartments above the stores, (Like The Domain in Austin) except it had houses around the stores and roads so you could also drive there. As it seems that this would have been a good place for it, a Vespa scooter dealership seemed to open and close every few years. When I was a kid, we would see the older people walking down the street to go to the market, and walk with them to help carry their groceries home. Doug
