Tired

[rejectomorph]

There are more birds around here now, especially crows. They must be refugees from the burned areas. It wouldn't surprise me to see a crow war. It wouldn't surprise me to see an epidemic of West Nile Virus. It wouldn't surprise me to find that I've already got West Nile Virus and that's why I'm so tired all the time.

Hey, my hypochondria survived the fires!

The details in the full-sized version of this photo of a Washington D.C. drug store in 1920 are fascinating. Hornung's Corn Paint, bed bug killer, and guaranteed rubber goods! They just don't have these things at our local Walgreen's!

I'm watering the jasmine every night in hope that this may produce a fresh crop of flowers. It worked on the gardenias out front. I'd much rather smell jasmine than gardenia.

It looked very busy in the 1950s. Was the two-story white building just past the corner on the right a movie theatre? That looks like a theatre marquee out front, though there's no visible name on it.

i was mistaken, btw, about it being before my time. i was born in '51, so that's smack in the middle of my childhood. :)

yes, there was a theater there off and on over the years. it never lasted too long, but OH the movies i saw there! Oklahoma, West Side Story, Blue Hawaii. i liked to sit in the very front row. *g*

Do you recall the name of the theatre? Jasonville has no theatres listed at Cinema Treasures yet, and with a little more information I could add it to the site's database. An address would be good, though not essential, and maybe a brief description. In the 1998 photo it looks as though the building might still be there, though minus its upper floor.

oh dear, i don't remember. i paid 25 cents to see each of those old movies (gone with the wind!), but the name? can't remember. i'll ask my brother and sister if they have better memories. unfortunately, both mom and dad are gone. she'd have known all about it.

i can offer up the Cine in Linton, just about 20 minutes down the road. Cine. i saw plenty of movies there, and at the drive-in (drive-in). linton's claim to fame is Phil Harris. (phil and i share a birthday!)
