[OMS_MANAGERS] Need Your Help in Identifying Contact Info for Historic Theaters

[BRIAN DALTON]

Sheri,

We have two theaters in Dallas.  Both are operated by Jeff Mexico.  Jeff's
phone number is (latest I have) 503-302-3977.  I don't have his address but
you can call him.  I think you can reach him via e-mail at:
info at dallasfox.net

The two theaters are:

Fox Theatre
166 SE Mill Street
Dallas
http://www.wvi.com/~starcinema/dallas/history.htm
The building owner may be Ron Burch

[Restored Art Deco style theater featuring popular films daily.  Was
fashioned out of another use in 1949 in a building built around 1890 or so
- my great grandfather used to own the building and operated a furniture
store there circa 1916-1940]

Motor Vu Drive-In
315 SE Fir Villa Road
Dallas
http://www.dallasmotorvu.com/
The land is owned by J. W. Fowler Co., a local developer sympathetic to
keeping the theater operating.


[Opened 1953 and operated continuously since.  Open all summer.  I believe
it has the largest screen in Oregon of any drive-in movie theater.  There
are very few drive-ins left in Oregon (7?) and we trust this one will be
with us for quite a while.]

Hope this helps.

Brian
