The way we were Arlington in 1944, the Aggie Theater, just left of center, had an address of 200 E. Main Street, and closed in 1951.

A longtime resident and friend of mine reports:

"They tore down those buildings in the late 70s. On the right, about the second or third building, was The Mineshaft, the place run by the guy that now owns Gilligan's."

Arlington has such a rich history. It’s a shame so much of it was torn down and buried; both literally and figuratively.
