"The Booker T. Theater and Burnette building will be saved". 05-08 Pages : 1 2 3 [4] 5 Main \| Auto \| Bowling \| Drive-ins \| Eateries \| Motels \| Neon Retrolook \| Icons \| Signage \| Theater \| Florida Home \| Search \| What's New \| Contact Disclaimers, Copyright, and Trademarks Page Last Updated May 24, 2008
