The American Theatre....corner of 9th and Market....the summer we left Grade School, this is where we discovered what Saturday nights were all about. This was where the "grown up" movies were shown. Until now we had been dropped off by the folks at the Uptown Theatre to see Roy, Gene and Hoppy on Saturday night. Once we were out of Grade School we became High School Students and on Saturday afternoon we would hitch-hike to town. A little pinball at Mel's Diner and then to the American Theatre. Soon we had "dates" - and if I may say so .... Mt. Carmel was home to the prettiest girls anywhere.
