1948 - looking east on NW 36th Street at 17th Avenue with the Dade Theatre on the left just past Whelan Drugs in Allapattah

Please click on "original" below to see this image at the largest version. Thank you to Alex Delgado for posting this image of a thriving busy Allapattah on Facebook. My next door neighbor Edward "Mickey" Packler identified the Dade Theatre and says that the Regency Theatre was just around the corner on NW 17th Avenue. Jackson High School would be off on the left side out of the photo and west of NW 17th Avenue. The Dixie Tires on the right was replaced by a Royal Castle and other businesses in the early 1950's after this photo was taken. The movie at the Dade Theatre was The Pirate starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly among others and it was released on June 11, 1948.

I lived at 3818 nw 19th ave for 3 years, used to catch the bus there to go to work at phone. Co Our house was a dead end with the overpass there, was a nice place to live I remember going to a drug store to buy formula for my baby, also a small 5 and dime next door.

The theatre around the corner was the Regent not the Regency. Went there every Saturday morning for the kid shows. Lived in Allapattah till 1960 when I went off to college. My grandmother moved there in 1918 and stayed till her death in1990. Was a wonder place back then.
