One of the places we always stop at on the way from ABQ to PA... is the Coleman Theater in Miami, OK.

It is a gorgeous building, and we were honored to be able to get a tour of the inside... which includes a huge theater space (with Wurlitzer Pipe Organ and magnificent tapestry curtains) ... and a fabulous ballroom space.

It opened in April of 1929, and originally held 1600 seats in the theater. At the original building cost of $600,000... it is no doubt worth much more... and holds a place of honor on the Historic Places register.
