Dorothy Haynes My
friend's mother use to drop us off at the theater and my dad would pick

sat through it twice and staryed it a third time. My dad came in and
dragged us out!!!!
Henry Howard Worked as a projectionist. Enjoyed watching the couples on the back row from above.
Scottie Atkins Spry Remember
going to the Saturday matinee with friends - news reels, cartoons, the
works! Sometimes we got to browse the toy department at Belk's until
time for our parents to pick us up. Oh, the days of the Barbie outfits -
we were so excited when they got new clothes in!

Connie Roberts Went there many, many times. That old store rambled. Bill bought most of his clothes there.
Kay Teien Blackstock I still have a button from Decatur Theater, 101 Dalmations (1960?). Shopped a lot with my mom at Belk's. Good memories.
Steve Powell Tony,
my brother, and I would walk there every Saturday morning to the

Linda Lane Kennedy Remember it well!!
Beverly Burns Bought my first pair of jeans in the boys department at Belks!
Lynn Carper I remember seeing Elvis Presley in Kissing Cousins at the Decatur Theater. We did shop at Belk when we were over that way.
Suzanne Hopkins Blievernicht Loved
Saturday matinees at the Decatur Theater when I was in charge of my
rowdy younger siblings. Never understood the signs on the restrooms and
water coolers at Belk Gallant that said "Whites only."
Helyn Hosch Kesler We
used to go to the movie and then afterwards we'd use the phone in
Belk's to get a ride home. I remember the ladies that worked there
didn't like that!
Margie Peacock Hardy Saw
lots of movies at the theater and remember shopping at Belk's often. I
saved up babysitting money & bought a new bedspread & curtains
at Belk's when I was in the 5th grade. It felt so good to buy them
with MY money! I remember playing on the stairs & going down them
on our bottoms! Lots of great memories in Decatur!
Rebecca Ransbotham-Gaines I remember mid 60's with Belks in Decatur my mom for sure did paying for clothes
Dot Barnes Kenimer Yo-Yo contest at the theater!
Helyn Hosch Kesler I saw Bestoink Dooley at a Saturday matinee!
Karen Herrington Woodall After
the movies, we went to Belk's as well. We would be picked up at the
back entrance, so we got to walk through the women's shoes which I
loved! Fun memories.
Michael Waldrip Saw all the beach party movies there and remember going to the yo yo clinics on Saturday mornings.
Elizabeth Thornton Wright A couple of our family members worked at the Belk-Gallent store.
Carol-Alan Welch School shopping at Belks and movies at the theatre...good times
Ruthanne Mulvihill Went
to the movies all the time (first date place!) and worked at Belks on
Friday nights and Saturdays for several years. Both hold wonderful
memories, as does all of Decatur during the 50s. It has changed greatly
since that time, but it is still a wonderful place.
