That is Geneva NY, no East in the name. Looking down Seneca St towards the Hotel Seneca we see a nice looking black Hudson Pacemaker heading uphill ready to turn south onto Main St. The movie theater on the left is most memorable to me when it showed the super wide screen movie Grand Prix. Extra screens were added on the stage on both sides and extra speakers were placed on the side isles and in the back for the multi track sound track. The racing scenes and sounds were really impressive when cars would pass and the sound moved with them. It is telling that I remember only the racing scenes and now when watching it realize there were more romantic scenes than racing.
Based on the movie marquee in Durango, Co, the year photo was taken was 1960. Both “Tall Story” and “Circus Stars” are from that year. Tall Story was the first movie Jane Fonda ever appeared in. The marquee in Fairbanks, Alaska is showing “The Flight of the Phoenix” which came out in December 1965. Photo was probably taken some time in 1966.
On the Durango card, “Kiva” theater. Kiva is the name for the Anasazi community gathering structures — circular dug-outs or shelters — a feature of the Mesa Verde architecture. Mesa Verde is 56 driving miles from Durango.
York is interesting. Lots of Plymouth taxis, two Nashes in formation, a bus, and a neatly customized ’52 Studie hardtop.
