I found this public event on Emerson’s calendar page. Oddly, it’s in the film screening room even though it’s a live event.

Poet Tony Hoagland, guest editor of the Winter 2009-10 issue of Ploughshares, will visit campus Thursday, Feb. 11. A Q&A session at 4:00 will be followed by a reading at 6:00.
This event is open to the public.

Nobody here has yet mentioned the new 31-seat video-only screening room in the basement, next to the Museum of Bad Art. It opened some time last year and is available for private rental. I enjoyed attending two small private parties there last week and this week.
http://www.forgottenoh.com/DriveIns/40east.html has many photos of the drive-in, and says that the last films were shown here on August 14, 2003. The adjoining Ohio Division of Fire training center purchased the property. From that page:
“The Fire Department training center buts right up against the theater property, which is why they eventually decided to buy it out for $1.4 million. They conduct firefighter training courses there—the kind of thing where they set something on fire deliberately and have the trainees put it out. Sometimes they stage explosions. They did a good deal of this while movies were playing right across the low divider wall at the 40 East, which caused some disturbance among theater patrons. ”
Since the reopened theatre has three separate spaces — the main auditorium, a smaller black-box theatre, and a film screening room — I’d argue that the number of ‘Screens’ should be changed to 3 (even though there will never be an actual movie screen in two of those spaces).
There is a side door next to the Paramount leading to a long hallway whose wall is lined with old Boston theatre seating charts. I hope to get a better look at this once the building is open.
It’s also possible that the Mayor wanted to show off two theatres on the same night, or that the Paramount lobby just doesn’t provide a sufficiently ornate and fancy setting compared to that of the Opera House.
I hope Emerson will schedule a public open house before the first paid event takes place this spring.
This is the most stupid thing I’ve ever seen posted to CinemaTreasures. Of course people should not be allowed to carry guns into a movie theatre! I would not go to a theatre that did allow this.
The Dispatch article I linked to says “In one case, a movie theater was built near Consumer Square, only to be demolished within a few years.” Does that sentence refer to this theatre? Was it demolished along with the mall, or before the mall?

http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/oht40ea gives the address as 8659 E. Main St in Reynoldsburg, and links to several photos of the drive-in at http://www.drive-ins.com/gallery/oht40ea .
http://www.forgottenoh.com/driveinlist.html lists the location as Pataskala rather than Reynoldsburg. I’m not sure which is correct.

http://www.forgottenoh.com/driveinlist.html lists the address as 3811 East Main Street.
http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/ohteas9 also lists the theatre, with a car capacity of 350.
Did you find seating charts?
Here are direct lnks to yesterday’s Sunday Herald article and to their photo essay.

Emerson now has a five-minute promotional video tour here: http://www.emerson.edu/news/index.cfm#12137
I don’t quite understand what you mean by ‘last true neighborhood theatre in LA’ — what about the Royal and Nuart, for instance?
Status should be changed from Open to Closed/Renovating/Restoring.
To the right of the theatre’s main lobby entrance.
There is a side door next to the Paramount leading to a long hallway whose wall is lined with old Boston theatre seating charts. I hope to get a better look at this once the building is open.
With that configuration there must have been two separate sets of restrooms, one for each screen?
It’s also possible that the Mayor wanted to show off two theatres on the same night, or that the Paramount lobby just doesn’t provide a sufficiently ornate and fancy setting compared to that of the Opera House.

Keep up the great work!
“the subway vibrated the building” above referred to the Beacon Hill, not the RKO-Boston Cinerama which showed the film that you saw.
Cinerama is such a natural fit for Las Vegas that I’m surprised this list is so short.
Just curious — how many more installments will there be? How many US and Canadian markets got Cinerama during its history?
Why was it ever called the Everett Square theatre since it is not in Everett?
Is this still standing, or was it demolished along with the Consumer Square mall last year?
The Consumer Square mall was demolished last fall.
The Dispatch article I linked to says “In one case, a movie theater was built near Consumer Square, only to be demolished within a few years.” Does that sentence refer to this theatre? Was it demolished along with the mall, or before the mall?
The AMC 6-plex and 8-plex were just north of the mall, on opposite sides of Hamilton Road. I don’t know when they opened or when they closed.
Thanks. The only thing left to find out now is when it was twinned. I’ll ask CinemaTreasures to update the Description.
We now have a page for the York Plaza.
