GUTTING THE OLD CAPITOL THEATER ON LEVEE AND 11TH

(Ed.'s Note: Crews using a loader and  trailer were busy clearing debris from inside the old Capitol Theater. The building, donated to the city by the Galonsky family, has weathered time since its opening February 14, 1928 with William Boyd in “Two Arabian Knights”. By 1941 it was operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidiary Hoblitzelle & O'Donnell. It was closed April 30, 1966. The roof caved in last year due to the weight of the air conditioning units atop the rotting timbers and a local company reinforced the roof. On Saturday, cleanup crews broke through the wall on the 11th Street side to remove debris. Below, the theater in its heyday.

$18.2 million is the amount taxpayers are paying for Trump’s golf
outings so far. He makes money by
housing the Secret Service at Mar a Lago. He would complain about Obama playing too much golf. The GOP just looks the other way. Musk,
Trump and all his top donors will be
a lot wealthier by the end of this term.

It wasn't the air-conditioning units that felled the theater. Look at the rotting ceiling; that goes first. . . . . .

About the only movie I remember ever watching there was PT 109. In 63. I was 7 that year.

😔 Sad and the people voted him in. Check out how much it costs when he doesn't go to Camp David. If America doesn't survive Trump then America is a cunt. He is grabbing Americans by the pussy.

Republicans approve all this. There is no problem here. Move along.

JFK was assasinated a few months later. The PT 109 story was about him.

So what happened to Mike Hernandez III and his Op 10.33? All of a sudden he disappeared and everything went silent.

Wall street stagnation due to tariff
chaos. All this winning….

Every US citizen pays federal taxes. Taxes are like death because there is no discrimination. Your ignorance is showing.

Trumps Age; Yes, bring down an historical building in Brownsville.
Before: No, give them a tax exemption. No taxes for the City forever. Do not touch that building.

It's funny that when Joe Biden was giving away billions not millions to those individuals and companies that were donating to his cause with tax payer money no one said anything. At the end of the day democrats are totally lost.

This building should have been condemned decades ago. But due to city politics it was left standing until it fell on its own. Luckily no one was injured.

Open Borders, sanctuary cities, men playing in girls sports defund the police, unlimited funding for Ukraine, loan forgiveness, weaponized judicial system etc., etc. Total madness from the extreme left. They lost and will lose agin in the next election. People are not stupid they are finally waking up.

Our forefathers lived through the civil war, the great depression, WWI and WWII. But you weak and ignorant idiots are complaining about a possible recession and tariffs. True American men and women do not scare easily. I say bring it on!

Whose paying for bringing down that building?

The Mexicans from our area are not concerned with the economy. Go to any restaurant any time of day or night and all are packed. Go to any car dealerships and they are still selling they're overpriced trucks in record numbers. Home prices remain high and people are still buying them.So what's with this BS about the recession and jobs? If we should enter a recession the only ones that will be effected are crooks like Pelosi and the Biden who invest in stocks.
