See you at the movies!

Downtown Farmington’s Civic Theater has been open since 1940 and is still going strong. It’s retro look and value prices continue to draw crowds. The theater is a city landmark.

I was in both the Majestic and the Palace last year. I was surprised to see amidt the damage, the theatres are in near original condition ... don’t get me wrong, they are in rough shape. Carpets, the boxes, carpets, dressing rooms, orchestra pits, faded wall paintings, ornamentation, seats ... nearly everything is in tact. There was a lot of water damage several years ago, but the roof was completely replaced thanks to a grant from the state.  

Mostly photos of California and Illinois movie theaters. Click on “The Gallery” or “Theater Index” to view the theater photos. Photos can also be purchased from this website.

This site has the Hollywood sign’s blueprints, as well as pieces of the original sign.
