Film Row
From
Film Row is an area of Oklahoma City located on Sheridan Avenue just west of downtown. Prior to the recent renaissance of the area, Film Row originally housed branches of many Hollywood studios. As early as 1907 films were delivered to these offices. They would then be taken to theaters across the state where they would be show to the general public. In the 1960s, as technology advanced, film exchanges started to close. By the 1970s the area known as Film Row had begun to be dominated by empty buildings and criminal activity. The last film office, Video Independent Theatres and Vumore TV, was acquired by Martin Theatres and closed its office on Film Row in 1983.
Today the area is home to restaurants and bars among other businesses.
