Here we go again. I didn’t post the above comment.

Thanks, Phantom Screen. You’re right on that one, but I noticed that an awful lot of stores and businesses seemed boarded up, or had soaped-up windows, which is another sign of a store or business that’s folded.

This photo looks familiar to me. It is not a great photo but it is an old photo.

I usually use Local Live, but Google Earth should also work. If you zoom in real tight, you might get a glimpse of the interior. ;)

Google Earth?

Enough of those facade shots. Do you have any of the roof? :P

Bagdad Screen, a view from further back, an interior view, and some comfortable looking seats.

Simon, you might want to check out cinematour.com. They feature many theater “tours,” of which many have lobby and auditorium photos (including the Bagdad).

Cinematour and Cinema Treasures work very well together for the total picture. As was pointed out by another poster on another theater page, Cinema Treasures is primarily a cinema nostalgia site, while Cinematour aims to document via photos, every known (existing or not, open or not) theater in the world. It also features an entertaining forum.

I like the facade. Besides, they’re different angles, and one is at night.

Simon Overton on September 11, 2007 at 9:57 pm

Enough of the repetitious facade shots… some auditorium pictures PLEASE and thank you.
