Sorry to see that the Old PO closed down but I’ve just realised (after writing a nostalgic post on the Audian page, which I should’ve put here) that it actually closed down while I lived in Pullman in 1999. So I guess that should have read “sad to be reminded of its closing”! I do remember now.
This brought back memories of happy times in Pullman. Between them the three single-screen theatres managed to provide something fresh for me and my wife to watch most weeks between 1998 and 2001 (with the occasion trip to the multi-screen in Moscow plus the WSU film society).
Sad to hear that the Old Post Office has closed, though I’m not hugely surprised. One diamond memory was going to a midnight showing of Terminator there with the adjoining gun shop putting on a display of the guns used in the film (potentially a classic cultural experience, not to be missed for two wide-eyed Brits). In reality the guns were less 1980s Terminator and more 1914 trench warfare and the theatre put the 4th reel on before the 3rd so we saw the end of the film part way through! Happys days though.
When we finally get round to our WA family vacation we’ll be sure to catch a movie at the Audian.
Shame. I guess there’s always the Cordova. Trolleyguy, please don’t tell me the Cordova’s closed too.
