so true,,when they sold the HILLTOP DRIVE in NORTH AUGUSTA SC,the DM tok an ax and tore the booth apart, guess that is the way they ran things..i remember it..
Drove by the old SOUTHGATE today, front doors wide open,, VANDALS at work, Notice the concession was gone, It had become a church,,walked in the theatre, looked like screen was ripped, sorta expected to find seats, but they were all gone,,BOXOFFICE ticket machine still there with cash drawers had never been upstairs, saw the small managers office right next to the booth, two PEERLESs projectors there, knocked around, I had thought later on the theatre went with platters, never did, carbon arc I guess to the last showing..BOOTH filled with trash,,,marquee letters everywhere….
doing was remodeling near the cinemas,trying to bring that place back life after all the big box stores moved..
well I thought NORTH AUGUSTA was really unscreened….
SOUTHGATE and SOUTHSIDE CINEMAS now have a facebook page..
Sad news, it looks like the Augusta NATIONAL has bought the land the shopping center is setting on.MASTERS CINEMAS days are numbered..
I think it was always REGAL…..
