Does ANYONE have info on this movie house? Its on jensen drive...just south of Tidwell. It looks like it mightve been a big deal...back when the neighborhood in that area maybe wasnt so ghetto. Its locked up. Been boarded up for years: anyone ever remember going there? How old is it? It looks like an old style movie palace...relatively speaking...at least from the outside.
Many memories of the Granada Theatre from the early 50's to the early 60's. That strip of Jensen Dr. was called North Houston and was where you went on saturdays to do all your shoping, like going to the mall today. There was another movie theatre on the other end of the strip called the North Houston. Spent many saturdays in both theatre, Great memories. I have photo posted from 1977 on my flickr site.
