THE STATE THEATER (AND DRAGGING MAIN, 2015)

DID THE GHOSTS ALSO COME?

*************************************

This is the State Theater, resting up, for Saturday night,
June 27. 2015.

To the south was once the beginning of Campbell's 

Dairy. 

The wall between 500 and 502 Main is solid concrete

and possibly the only one in Clovis. G.A. Campbell's

son, Dale, told me that he helped pour that wall.

G.A. Campbell lived in an apartment above 500 Main

when Dale and his sister were born. His living quarters 

were later my office when I owned the building and

"BOB'S MR. SHOP."

In the 40's, 500 Main was the Blue Ribbon Bar....

and the ghosts of the Blue Ribbon Bar still live

in the wine cellar below 500 Main, (which has been

closed up for years.)

I have been down there and it is a dirty, trashy, 

musty old place...well suited for ghosts...and maybe

a good ghost story...now and then, around a 

fireside.

Who knows: they may have slipped upstairs to

watch The GREAT MAIN STREET DRAGGING

of 2015! Maybe they get a little bored....
