Knox Street, Between Cole and Travis
Knox in its salad days…
by Paula Bosse
Above, Knox Street looking southeasterly from Travis in 1924. The Ro-Nile Theater (later the Knox Theater) is on the left. Today it is, I think, Pottery Barn Baby (and I think it is the original building). It directly faces what it now Weir’s Furniture. See what this view looks like today, here.
Below, a snow-covered Knox Street — around 1949 — looking northwesterly, from about Cole. The Knox Theater is on the right. See what this view looks like today, here.
I used to love when Knox was charming and funky. When I drive around this area now, I’m afraid I always end up feeling claustrophobic.
