Hey HDTV – Do any of the neon lights outside work? Does it light up at all? I’ve been looking to photograph this one for a while, but don’t know it’s worth the two hour drive!
At least they didn’t COMPLETELY destroy it. I’d rather see it become a drive through parking lot with the facade in tact than see it demolished and becoming a Walmart or something…
Well then I guess I look forward to shooting what’s left…
Awesome! I look forward to photographing your theater when I’m in the area!
Still?
When I visited this theater last year, the neon bird want entirely functional, so I didn’t bother to shoot it. Anyone know if it’s been fixed?
Does the marquee light up at night? Is there a current website?
Awesome! That theater is still on my “to shoot” list.

You should get in contact with: http://www.saveamericascinemas.org
Yes indeed! The next time I go to Spokane I have every intention of making a visit! Yours is a theater I have not photographed or seen a movie at yet!
Facade, not cascade…stupid iPhone autocorrect…
If you restored the old marquee and the cascade, that would certainly add the authenticity of the experience. I’d go there!

So how did the fundraiser go?

Any idea if the neon will be restored?
Did they take down the Rave sign and replace it with AMC? If so, time to reshoot…

…the status should be “open” and no longer restoring…

I hate to ask this, but does that mean that you think it should be demolished, Donald?
Hey Theatreo – do you guys ever intend to put some kind of neon sign on your marquee?
