With the retirement of Tom and Allison McArthur at the beginning of 2016, the last of the stores that can be seen in the then image, taken in January of 1988, closed it's doors and went out of business. When Spectrum photographer Nancy Rhodes captured the then image of Main Street in St. George, the Dixie Theatre was showing Oliver and Company, an animated musical featuring, Bette Midler, Huey Lewis and Billy Joel, the theater shared the building with Mesa Print and Copy and Budget Optical occupied the Nelson Building. Now, over a quarter-century later, Gallery 55 is located in the old Dixie Theatre building, Main Street Antiques, the Nathan Wotkyns Gallery and Print It! occupy the Nelson building and Forever Young Fine Jewelers has opened in the McArthur Jewelers building as can be seen in the now image taken by Spectrum & Daily News photographer Jud Burkett.
