I saw 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA at the Strand in 1971; I ran away from Boys Town to see it, and went all the way to the Bluffs because I figured that if I went to the Six West Theaters on Omaha, I might run into someone from Boys Town.
Thank you for all the good content you keep coming out with. After reading Richard Orr's Street cars of Omaha and Council Bluffs a few years ago I've been very interested in local history and that all started from a street car token I metal detected at Columbus Park.
Interesting what can trigger someone's interest in local history! Glad that streetcar token did the trick for you :) For me it was a brief mention by my 4th grade teacher at Hoover (Mrs. Franksen) that CB had once been the capital of Nebraska; that fascinated me. No Google in those days so had to wait until I grew up and joined the Historical Society to learn the details. If anyone doesn't know that story, we have a video with historians Troy Stolp and Ryan Roenfeld explaining how this quirk happened :) Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I love all these memories 💕. It makes you see how everything has changed so much.
Thank you for sharing. So many memories.
You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words :)
