I was inside the Majestic Theater once that I remember. During the Christmas seasons in the 50's (maybe earlier and/or later) Chester Wonderlin was the Santa Claus for area kids to visit. One year, I think, maybe '51 or 52', Chester was set up at the Majestic front lobby for kids to come and give him their Christmas wishes, and to "prove" Santa's existence. I remember it very distinctly because we also got to peek into the old seating, stage and balcony theater area; it looked pretty nasty from no maintence and pigeon droppings. I do remember that a savings and loan was built on the site.
Thanks Barb, for keeping the website so interesting.
