Tim,thanks for the article and your hard work putting it together one has to have worked at a theatre to want to take the time to research and write it up. Thanks.And because you worked in the business it means more to us that did work in a theatre. Has Too.
If one had the chance they should have gotten in somehow and saved some parts of that Theatre,I know i did it when they came in to wreck my favorite two theatres. Got quite a bit out of the booth and managers office.It wasn’t all going in the trash if i could help it.
You would think that a theatre chain would do something to solve that problem.You have to sell snacks.All three of ABC THEATRES here in Augusta had plenty of room at the concession.GCC was tight at both locations I worked in Athens and Augusta,but they were tucked into a MALL.
Now Showing at GCC’s PLAZA I and II “IF EVER I SEE YOU AGAIN” rated PG. in CINEMA II you have “THE GREEK TYCOON” rated R which is also playing at GCC’s RALEIGH SPRINGS IN Memphis.
Nick, thanks so much for keeping my theatres alive.I know the IMPERIAL is still going strong, but to see COLUMBIA 1 and 2 and NATIONAL HILLS ads just make me so happy.And thank you too Robin.

Nick, never knew you liked this “ STAR WARS” Fluff. I will take 2001 any day over that silly stuff. i had to watch it being in the business,but when i wanted a break I would go into another theatre until needed on the floor.
