I’m always here for you Ed. After your nap, you can be Aretha Franklin and I’ll be James Brown.

Somehow, Lost, I knew you’d be the one person to respond to that last post… and pretty much in the precise manner I imagined! There’s great comfort in that. Thanks! ;–}
Jake….Its me Elwood. I’m on a mission from God. Don’t worry, I won’t let Carrie Fisher get her hands on you. I have your medication. Remember, this is all a dream. You just need a nap and you’ll be fine. LOL
I checked a map of upstate NY and found that Monroe, NY, is quite a way from Walton. Then, the town of Roscoe sort of leapt off the map at me. Lo and behold, I found a page for the Roscoe Theatre which I believe to be the site of the “Blues Brothers” screening I mentioned above. No deal to anyone reading this (so why post it) but I have a pathological compulsion to complete open threads!
Ha ha ha ha. Did I just laugh out loud?
Wow. Another blast from my youthful past courtesy of CT! Thanks for the link to the official website, Lost!
My grade school pal Matthew (or rather Matthew’s parents) had a vacation home up on Walton Mountain and I used to go up with his family once or twice a year every summer from around 1976 through 1980. Mostly, I recall going up for the Delaware County Fair (and the Demolition Derby run during the fair), but we did attend at least one movie here at the Walton Theater in the ‘70’s. I remember Matt’s dad dropped the two of us off for a showing of the 1968 live-action Disney flick “Blackbeard’s Ghost” with Peter Ustinov and Dean Jones – must have been Disney’s summer re-release for that year.
I remember the place seemed like a barn to me… a big, boxy, rectangular space with a very high ceiling with a decor that even at the time seemed to me sort of Yankee-rustic. The photos on the official website confirm those memories. The showing we attended was a midday matinee and there were only a handful of other patrons in the building.
I know on at least one other occasion, Matt and I saw another movie while up visting in Walton – and that was to see “The Blues Brothers” in 1980. Matt’s dad was with us for that one, but I don’t think it was here at the Walton Theatre. It was another big and spacious barn of a place in a nearby town (maybe Monroe, NY)?
Anyway… It was fun strolling back to those times! That’s the sort of buzz that I get ONLY from this website!
Here is a website for the Walton Theater.
