Colon Theatre
El Paso, TX
2008: 2019:
I believe the Colon Theatre originally screened Spanish-language films. It has been used as various retail stores in recent years. The building was repainted sometime between 2013 and 2017. This marquee is so similar to the Parkway Theatre in San Angelo, TX and the Midwest Theatre in Scottsbluff, NE that it must have been designed by the same architect. For more, see this website.

The Pioneer Theatre opened in 1945 and has been closed since around 2004. By 2008, the marquee's neon cowboy and cactus details had been removed and painted over. Around 2016, the facade was painted brown and the Pioneer Saloon began operating in the building. The Western scene porcelain panels were probably produced by the same company that made them for the Texas Theatre in Raymondville, TX. For more, see this website. [map]
