Primarily Olive Street from 16th to 22nd Street
This area was populated predominently with people
of Polish & Czech descent
In early days Geese were herded down the middle of Olive Street
Thus, the area was called Goose Town by many people

Most locations are from 1949 City Directory
Original occupants may no longer exist

PLAZA THEATER

The Plaza was located at 1830 Olive Street. It was built in 1940 and sometime in 1970-1971, it caught fire and burnt down. It had 432 seats and was one of my favorite theaters until it closed.
The building was razed and it is an empty lot.

I WOULD LOVE TO FIND A PHOTO OF THE PLAZA
