Graham Newsstand 1947

Here is a newsstand in Graham, Texas. Pulps are on the wall on this end (left). Assuming from the December 1947 issue of AMAZING STORIES, I would say this picture was taken sometime between October 1947 and February 1948. Most magazines were released a couple of months before the date on the covers, and would have remained on the shelf for a while, at least. My family had only recently moved to Wichita Falls, and I was looking through comic books and pulp magazines at the Miller Drug Store on the corner 7^th & Ohio at about this time.

29th Street Theater

29^th Street Theater in Waco: Posted by Bill Crider on his Blog recently, here is a nice picture of an old theater that may be torn down soon. Sadly, this has been happening all over America for some time now. Great old theaters torn down to be replaced by ugly stores or parking lots. Sad.
