Balboa Theater---now that was the hightlite of entertainment to go to the movies. The popcorn bags were filled to the top with "real" butter. Super air-conditioned, that was such a relief from the tropical heat outside. The Saturday morning movies were great---Flash Gordon, Roy Rogers, and lots of Westerns. Seats were comfortable, and everything kept nice and clean. Various local events such as dance shows, graduations, talent shows---all at the Balboa Theater. Nice......




The PCC Administration Building was located at the end of El Prado, on Ancon Hill. The trees in the left side of the photograph, provided me many years of tree climbing pleasure. They were huge trees, and offered a lot of shade. I rode down the slopes of the hill on pieces of cardboard---that was the closest feeling I had to compare with a child in the United States on a snow sled. Also, as a teenager, riding down the slopes on my bicycle, well, that was one speedy ride.
