I saw movies at this theater including Disney comics and Davy Crockett. My father, Louis Harper, owned the Wimpy’s Grill hamburger diner just down the street. I was just a kid in the 50’s. All the 12c hamburgers I could eat free, buying popcorn balls and candy apples next to the theater, and watching kid movies in a Roman village with stars on the ceiling. It was a great life. My last visit to Wimpy’s was in 1968 and the whole neighborhood was totally different than my childhood 1950’s.
