Might you remember the name of the movie theather that was near the train tracks please and the name of the person who owned the shoe store at the center square thank you i thought his last name was bollinger.
I believe that the name of the theater was the Earl Theater and before that, it was called the Crystal Theater. The New Oxford Area Historical Society had a program recently that included some older members of the community that reminisced about life in New Oxford during the 40′s, 50′s and 60′s. The theater was one of the things that came up in coversation. It was great to hear history from those who lived it! I’m sorry I don’t know about the shoe store.
I am trying to get a contact person who has pictures of the olden days in New Oxford. The band would like to get some info to use for our theme this coming marching season. You can email me or call 965-5953. Thank you. This is currently needed like asap. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if there was a nickname for the town of new oxford other than an antique town. I know that Hanover is the Black Rose and York is the White Rose. Is there a name like this for New Oxford??
