Vertigo58 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Here is the Venus Theater on Lyons in Denver Harbor! Notice the film being shown good old Jerry Lewis comedy! The Venus Theatre at 6515 Lyons. It, along with its sister theatre, the Galena in Galena Park, belonged to Oscar Korn’s O.K. Neighborhood Theatre circuit. Thank Nena for the web link!

NenaE Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Like others growing up in Houston, I had never heard of these places Podunk & Frenchtown. Interesting, I like the old b/w pics. Heard of Denver Harbor. Mom had relatives there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a miracle the Park & Fire Station are still on Lyon's Avenue after all these decades! When I attended Elliott Elementary down the street around 1967-68, we kids all walked with the teachers to that park for a day of fun. Funny how innocent the days seemed for us children not realizing the Vietnam War was raging on what seemed like another world away. Woodstock and even more bizarre events were just around the corner. Turbulent days indeed. Wish we had more participation from DH folks here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
