Hi everyone!!!!! I am now 28 years old, I have lived in Shamokin pretty much all of my life. One of the places that I lived before was right there on 122 E. Independence St., downtown. I went to the Victoria Theater all the time when I was younger. On a Friday night, there would be people lined up for blocks from the theater, it was an amazing sight to see. They almost went as far down as where I lived, in the middle of town. Those were the days, when there were actually fun things to do around here, now everyone sits at home and plays video games or watches TV or movies. It just doesn’t have the same feel as going to a theater as classic as the Victoria Theater. It was truly a marvel to see, even as a kid, I could kind of appreciate it. I would give anything to have another theater that could have that same classic look and try to have that same classic feel. William Harold Lee, who designed the place, was a genius and a legend. If I ever become rich, I can guarantee you that the first thing I would do with my money is come back to Shamokin, Pennsylvania and try to recreate a place that could have amazing memories like the ones that I will live with for the rest of my life.
