Yeah , it’s true. I think Bill would back me up. When you talk to DIANE and CAthy tell them to at least give you their FAVORITE MOVIE THEY saw NOT PLAYED AT National Hills. You can type them up for them of Course mine is 2001. Bill’s was SUMMER of 42.
Well, you tried. Like i said i have several theatre buddies that will get together and talk old times,but won’t touch this great CINEMA TREASURES site,can not explain it.
I enjoyed my times at GCC.they worked the crap out of managers and that salary certainly never covered the long hours,but i think most of us never did it for the money.
Last I heard he was in Western north Carolina running a Bed and breakfast place. I know my theatre people in this TOWN. Don’t know what would make him fire you and i guess Cathy.wonder if Mr.A was behind it to get you guys to Atlanta makes me wonder.
I can’t believe i went over there and got an application.the story is on AUGUSTA EXCHANGE 12 on CT. There was no way to watch people from sneaking in without a ticket too many accesses.
I never liked Georgia Theatres I bet it was little Curt Harris that let you go.Typical sterotype of a movie theatre manager one sees in the movies. I am right?
Last time I went in there with flash light in hand there was already a leaky roof in one of the cinemas. The 12 plex is still empty the AUGUSTA EXCHANGE 12 it is on CT. that is a better spot,but who the heck has that kind of money and REGAL cleaned it out when they left town.
Okay here it is MIKE,Robin,TLSLOEWS and maybe Nick. You worked one DAY! There must be a story there for us to read about,Find the right Theatre in Atlanta and write the Story.I am sure it is on CT.
TLSLOEWS you wouldn’t believe this Triple drive-in it is almost as screwed up as the COMMERCE DRIVE-in,but when i visited Nick,he wanted me to take in a Drive-in. Nick, will even tell you how it was changed for the worst.
Now who could that be? Maybe me in my Super 8 epic horror film “THE FUNKY VAMPIRE”. I played the Vampire and of course got all the girls before a wooden cross was thrown on me. VIOLENT death,We almost got an R rating.
As i said before,the bigwigs at GCC actually asked my opinion on where to build the 8 plex,they had at one time wanted to expand the triple in the Mall out into the parking lot,but that never happened. I told them,build it in NORTH AUGUSTA,S.C.,nice decent town on the other side of the river. Had they done it I bet a mom and pop outfit could be running second run in that city and make money,There are probably 30.000 to 40.000 folks in that town and no screens since the HILLTOP DRIVE IN went dark in the early 80’s. So it goes.
It truly is amazing the screens you see from the past covered in moss in many rural towns like the Midway or Newport Drive-in. I have traveled that area even before the interstates as a kid and I remember Drive-ins almost carved into Mountains. Moonshine and drive-ins.
If I can ever get my two daugthers off the computer over the weekend,I am really going to do it.the Augusta Chroncile charges for the service,which is okay.My friend Tim,Stage Manager at the Imperial pulled hundreds of ads from the 60’s searching for info on the PEPSI BUDDY CLUB kid movies,I am sure you remember them every saturday at the IMPERIAL. I guess I am top THEATRE DAWG with TLSLOEWS second even though he never worked for PLITT or GCC. Robin loses a point for working for Georgia Theatres! Nick,in Tampa is Third he only worked 6 months in the business!
Tlsloews,Nick in Tampa plays the Big Lottery and if he ever wins 50 million dollars he has already invited me to quit my job and go on the road searching for old Theatres.I am sure I can talk him into inviting you,but you are right you gotta get on the Backroads.I don’t think I will ever sale my one-sheets,stills and pressbooks.
The way my luck as been running on getting facts straight I wouldn’t be surprized if someone comes on and corrects what ihave. there could be a SALISBURY DRIVE-in and a OPEN AIR DRIVE-In.
I really wish i hadn’t clicked on the 1986 photo what a crying shame!
Yeah, they are just too shy. Have they even got on and read about our theatres here and in Hotlanta?

YOu outta drive up there one day it was beautiful and the staff was glad to show off the theatre. I bought a nice local book about the theatre.
