What is happening with the Scott Theater? If it up for sale or is the city of Odessa going to demolish it for the convention center they want to build downtown?
From 1987 a view of the Scott Theater in Odessa.
Not a nice looking theatre that yells “this is a showplace"could be an insurance office.

I was driving through and it is quite a striking sight.
I believe the Scott 1-2-3 can be glimpsed briefly in the film version of ‘Friday Night Lights’.
