Admiral Theater



Here are some pictures I found of the Admiral Theatre that I thought were interesting. I remember walking all the way up there in the mid-60's from our home on 21st (which MapQuest says is only 3.2 mile, but it seemed further) to watch movies like In Like Flint or a James Bond movie, and get a pack of Tropical Flavors Lifesavers. Very good stuff! I believe the old picture of the exterior is from when the theater first opened up in 1942. I have no idea when the Interior picture was taken. I keep meaning to get up there to watch a movie, but haven't yet. Waiting for the new James Bond movie, I guess.

  1. I remember the walks as well; very surprised that it is only 3.2 miles...and you remember the same movies I do. How about PT109? I think we saw that there as well.

  3. Going to a movie there sounds good if we can. So are we going to walk from 5408 21st SW, or drive?

  4. Yea, I think I would have to make that trip by van. I'd probably do all right until I got to Admiral Hill, then that would drain my battery right down. Interestingly you can now get beer and wine at the Admiral in the balcony, which has a place called the Crow's Nest Lounge. My kind of theater!

    1. My battery would drain before we even got to the bottom of the hill at the school, so I got dibs on driving the van!!!
