The Trail for sure made it to the 80's !! Lived around it and the Mission all my life!! My best memories of the Mission were the spaghetti Westerns in the 70's. They ran all the Clint Eastwood Movies : Good the Bad and The Ugly, Fist Full of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More, Hang 'em High!! Maybe Two Mules for Sister Sara ...... Started as a single screen. It was Mission Twin most of the period I was going there. Then went to four screens. Saw them demolishing the original 2nd screen a couple weeks ago while at the San Jose Mission. I should be getting photos . Institute of Texan Cultures had a 1950 photo of the marquee showing The Milkman with Jimmy Durante and Tarzan with Johnny Weissmuller. Several milk trucks were parked in front of the marquee screen. Couldn't tell which local company!! ITC changed there online library site and I can't find that photo now!!
P.S I do hope the little pieces of work that caused them to close it down for good get what's coming to them.
