Ignatius Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 elkstheaterdubois.....never heard of it, where was it at? Down the street from the old "Tommy D's" towards Julio's. My memory of DuBois (not a resident, but came there once every few weeks with parents for shopping) from the fifties when I was a kid, seem like Raphie's from "A Christmas Story"!

Ed Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice pictures, I remember the Hootle-bug which we called it, the Reynoldsville-FallsCreek railroad and watching the Pennsylvania railroad big Steam Locomotives heading toward FallsCreek every morning when we were waiting for the schoolbus at the bottom of what is now Stewart Road. I also remember well wadeing butt deep snow on a little kid getting down the hill to the bus. Snow day- never heard of one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 elkstheaterdubois.....never heard of it, where was it at? It was on Brady Street, across from the site of the present library. It also had a large ballroom on the second floor. Many dances, etc. were held there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyC Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Elks also had bowling lanes inside and we used to set the pins back up manually as well as pick up the balls and send them back out to the bowler. Kinda had to be quick on the feet. Some of the guys would really roll fast. Get the pins picked up before you sent the ball back. I believe we were paid .10 per game. Closed the lanes in the mid 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
