The Tivoli Then and Now


Although I found this too late for my Summer Movie Theater posting, here's a great undated photo of the Tivoli Theater from the photo files of the Black River Historical Society.

It's funny that I had a hard time remembering this theater, but when I saw this photo, the memories came flooding back, along with that of the Jupiter store and Kline's next to it. (Ah, Saturday mornings in the mid-1960s... getting dragged around downtown by Mom as she shopped!)

I'm guessing by the looks of the car (along with the re-release dates of Gone With The Wind in 1961, 1967 and 1971) that this photo is from the 1960's or early 1970's. Anyone know for sure?

Here's my 'now' shot of the theater. No wonder this view of the rehabilitated building didn't trigger any memories; it sure is different.
