Roxy Theatre



There has been a lot of talk on the Walla Walla page on Facebook about the Roxy Theatre.  Growing up in Walla Walla, there were 3 standing movie theatres.  The Liberty, The Capitol, and The Roxy.
The Liberty was the only one that was operating.  The Capitol reopened and then closed again.  It had many different incarnations before shutting down for good.
The Roxy had closed either before I was born or while I was very young.  The empty building stood for years before it was finally shut down to make room for what was then Seafirst Bank.
The Roxy left a lot of great memories for Walla Wallans.  My dad mentioned it a couple of times  in his blog.
