For full view of McAlester’s V Theater check out Cinema Tour web site. I’ve always wondered where they came up with such an odd name for this cinema.

xxx commented about Sooner Theatre on Oct 25, 2005 at 3:06 am

Let me explain, Grand ran through downtown, but during the early 20th century shortsighted OKC planners thought it would be just “grand” to have a boulevard that encircled the entire town, thus Grand Boulevard came to be. As the city grew, expanded, and was devided into quadrants, Grand Blvd became quite a nightmare, and still is to this day.
During the mid 1930’s the downtown street called Grand was renamed Sheridan Ave in order to ease confusion.
