This site provided some Wurlitzer/Akron Civic information. And I did locate the ED’s email address so have sent Mr. Parr a notice of my wanting a tour of the Akron Civic and its atmospheric charm!
I probably posted this before, but to think that the very first Eberson “atmospheric” theatre ever built was then demolished by the City of Houston! Shame!
“Of the three Eberson theatres surviving in Ohio, this is by far the largest and most elaborate.” I have seen the Palace in Canton, Ohio but not the one in Marion, Ohio so will be anxious to see this atmospheric and its “stars”!
Cha: Funny that you should mention the S&W Cafeteria. I have visited 2 other cities…Knoxville TN and Asheville NC where they “had” S&W Cafeterias. The one in Asheville was very art deco and it’s a shame most or all of these cafeterias are gone now!

And I would love to see exterior and interior, particularly, photos of this FIRST EBERSON ATMOSPHERIC THEATRE!

Lost: You read my mind! LOL! I will call the box office on Monday as they don’t seem to provide an email address.

I wonder why the name Loew’s wasn’t kept along with the marquee?
I’ll be returning from Hershey on October 11…darn!
Can anyone give more information about this theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer?
I will be traveling to the Akron OH area on October 14th so will check out this theatre and report back!
Interesting to read in the article that Brian Wilson had an estate in St. Charles! Anyone know more about this?
Thanks Lost!!!!
ken mc: The renovation article posted on October 27, 2007 doesn’t seem to be available and I wanted to read it prior to my visit.
And the tour guide did not know about CT…she does now! LOL!
Photobucket account sounds like a good plan though you will have to help me with it. Thanks…..in advance!
Lost: I just spoke with the tour guide at the Carlisle and my tour visit is set for Thursday @ 3:00!
Lost: I’ll be in the Carlisle PA area next week and hope to tour the Carlisle Theatre along with the Hershey Theatre…will post here upon my return.
Cha: I have not eaten at Regas, but have been told about this long established restaurant through Atlanta friends whose daughter lives in Knoxville.

“a haven for the homeless to hide and sleep on the benches until the morning.”
And this is the Capitol of NC?
raysson: Thanks…next time I find myself in Raleigh I will locate the RBC Center site.
I agree…..it’s fairly easy to find exterior photos, but interior/floor plans are much more difficult…don’t know why that is!?!
What a very nice website!
palermo: I can’t be of help, but I’m sure someone on CT will be able to contribute these items.
Yes, thank heavens!
Yes, the fist! Thanks as it was great to see that particular fist photo.
