Roxy Theater

Springfield Roxy Theater 1975 & 2007

For over 10 years, my parents owned and ran the Apartment Lounge next door to the Roxy Theater on 5th street in downtown Springfield IL. Their place was on the right of the movie house and Dr. Bonny’s office was on the left.

The old Abe Lincoln hotel is the tall building in the background. After the state bought the whole block except the YWCA, I saw it imploded and everything else torn down in 1978-1979.

I found this and many other great pictures from my childhood on the new site Springfield Rewind.

You can catch up on all your Springfield Illinois news with the State-Journal Register Online. I’ve been visiting this site since it’s infancy. It has grown into a great source of news and information about my old hometown, the “Land of Lincoln“.
