Cameo Appearance

March 1, 2010 by Paqueenie 2 Comments

Cameo 3

I was hoping to take full moon shots after my earlier photography plans went by the wayside but I couldn’t get that to work out, even although the moon is in this shot.

Anyway, I stopped downtown to get a shot of the former State Theater of Owatonna, built in 1935 and including “a 35′ high ceiling, four distinct arches, Art Deco sconces, 1000 seats, plush curtains and a vaudeville stage.” It became the local theatre in the 70s. The building has been empty for nearly 15 years now. My kids say they’ve heard it’s haunted. Wooooooo!

I say this is what happens to Main Street in rural towns when the big box stores go up on the outskirts.

      Yah, Jodi. There were some plans for it but they fell through. I think it’s going to be demolished but I’m not even sure there’s the money for that right now in the city budget. Kinda sad. Did you ever go inside?
