Okay Don. I thought it was a recent photo. I was wondering what the people with the tribute to Sinatra tickets would say when they arrived at the Greer Iron Works for the show. LOL

Hey Lost. I took this photograph years before the CACTUS resurrection when Greer Iron Works was still using it.

Don….That’s a current photo of this theater? Their website has a schedule for August. It reads: AUG. 5, 11, 12th, “A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF FRANK SINATRA”. Something isn’t right.
