Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Fort Jackson Theater on Sep 3, 2010 at 8:25 am

PLEASE CHANGE IN THE ADDRESS, FORT JACKSON TO:

COLUMBIA

With Fort Jackson Google Map shows the Southern United States and Central America, not very helpful in locating the theater. I had checked out the address before I added the theater to this site and I thought Fort Jackson worked?? I must have got confused. I added this theater late at night and when I read it this morning I was disapointed in all the errors even when I had proofread it last night. I think from now on, I’ll add new theaters first think in the morning when I’m awake.
