And when she shines she really shows you all she can

The Rio Theater in Center, Texas. It opened in 1926 and was originally called the Shelby Theater. The name was shortened to RIO in part due to the high cost of neon during the Depression. It still shows first run movies, as you can see. It is one of the oldest, single screen theaters in Texas still in operation.
