Howard Street Brewing Company uses the old Howard Theatre Building as it’s logo.
They are located to the East in one of the storefronts in the Howard Theatre Building.
Address is 3832 14th Avenue, on the N/W corner of 14th Avenue & 38th Street. It most recently housed The Lion’s Mane hair studio.
The building had previously been Al Freeland Sports Center which opened on April 5, 1946, four years after it closed as the Ritz. Additional history and image credit Retro Quad Cities Facebook page.
Their website is on the top right beside the Overview.
It will take you to their Facebook page which has a posting yesterday of an upcoming show on June 8th, and a calendar of events with karaoke 5/31 & 6/04, and “The Big Lewbowski” film showing on 06/05.
Understood.
The Admins already changed it back to 361, so they will see this and change it accordingly as they see fit.
I have actually made your same argument in the past.
But it pertained to extant buildings whose address numbers and/or street names had changed.
Only a few though where stretches of land had changed the previous numbering. But only a few got changed, with the rest remaining in the comments.
Most that are that interested, will read all the comments through notifications, and be able to find it based on what you provided.
Only new CT members to the page, would likely start at the address provided.
Thank you for all the clarifications.
I agree with your suggestion.
But only if street names and/or numbers have been changed.
Not based on where Google street view shows something to have been.
That belongs in the comments.
The drawback of updating addresses based solely on Google street views, is that they are constantly in flux and updated.
And thus could be wrong again in a short amount of time.
Some will shift from 2009 to 2020 just by scrolling right or left.
Those are indeed good for before and after comparisons.
But changing an address based solely on a Google street view, and not an extant theatre building, or where one stood in between extant buildings, is a slippery slope.
Particularly with former demolished drive-in sites.
Also troubling is that Google street views have never been successfully linked to in comments on CT.
It automatically alters them by adding unrelated theatres to the link in it’s text.
So one would have to read the comments to find out where the closest point to start their street view search is anyway.
I understand fully.
I am just one that believes that the original addresses of theatres should be used in the Overviews.
And that any subsequent addresses or street name changes should be covered in the comments sections.
Particularly when locating any remains of a demolished theatre is moot, as is the case in this one.
As that is how it was when I joined CT 18 years ago.
Maybe new addresses/street names could be in parenthesis as a solution.
The original 361 Tierra Rejada Road address is correct, as that is what appears on the 1975 Simi Drive-In Theatre’s newspaper print ad below that I posted in 2020.
