Twin Cities Picture Show
Minnesota Historical Society Press has just published my new book, Twin Cities Picture Show: A Century of Moviegoing. There’s plenty here to satisfy classic theater buffs (including “Feature Presentation” profiles of 29 significant show houses, and a comprehensive appendix listing every movie theater that’s ever operated in Minneapolis and St. Paul), but it’s more than theater nostalgia. It’s a history of American moviegoing as experienced by the people of one of Middle America’s great metropolitan areas. Available through all the big online merchants as well as MHS Press:
Enjoy the show!

Tribune Family Theater for sale
TRIBUNE, KS — The Tribune Family Theater in Greeley County is currently for sale. The current owners, the Zerrs and the Huddlestons, are ready to move on, and the community is both researching community-owned models and seeking individual buyers for the theater. The theater is a single-screen theater and currently shows films on the weekends.
The asking price is $30,000 plus any tax liability at the time of sale, and a commitment to continue running the theater as a family entertainment venue. In this small community, the loss of a movie theater would be very tough for the residents.
Interested parties should contact the Community Development Office at 620-376-2548 or .
