  • My mom took me to see "April Love" at the Palace as shown here at 2:47! I swear this is the truth! I was in those fabulous downtown theatres every weekend as a kid...Paramount, Warwick, James, Palace...I can name the movies I saw in them, too...plus the Wythe and the Langley in Hampton.

  • I skipped school and attended the first showing of April Love at the Palace. The Langley and Lee were my main theaters as a teen. The Warwick and James as a kid. Don't remember the Rex, on King Street in Hampton, open but went there when the Youth For Christ used it.

  • Those 15 cents thick shakes at Antines, Santa at both Nachman's and Leggetts, Roy Rogers Riders Club at the Warwick Theater - that is what I remember the most!

  • I recognized most buildings. I came to NN in 1960. Downtown was still alive. Sad ending, especially to the name NN High School.
