What do mean the over 50 crowd hates stadium seating, remember GCC’s famous seats,you would get paralyzed butt after after 20 minutes.I hated them and i worked for them in two different cities,same blasted seats.
Thanks popcorn and roses.missed the part above earlier where the staff was unionized at this GCC.Bet, that was fun for and overworked,underpaid theatre manager.
Yep,your moviegoing age is 14 to 24 was the same thing in the seventies,only then we didn’t all these blasted popcorn box sized viewing rooms under one roof and if you couldn’t behave you got tossed out.today,Cops have to play doormen and usher,Sad state of affairs for the theatre business.
It was told to me that the above post is why he left and I was expecting more than that,He seems like a Journalist to me;should have thicker skin.I know I would miss all the great things you get on,The pictures,most of all and I read disagreements you have sometimes with Certain CT folks,but you don’t say to heck with it.I wish that Almanac i had had the addresses on all the Drive-ins i submit.I would love to have all the info when I submit a theatre,one reason why I have slacked off with the Drive-ins because more than one CT member has mentioned Me not putting the Address on.Sometimes,some of old theatre managers and doormen will start rapping about the old days of the theatre business I think that personal stories on the business is more important than architects.
What Great one sheet case.I found one that could be set outside the Theatre it has beautiful wood trim work,Found it in the Knox Theatre back by an exit door,Hopefully,someone saved the one Chuck put on.
Remake of “Arthur” how can do this to a classic comedy,Hopefully folks will stay away in droves,But the under 30 crowd i am sure will think it is the greatest thing.I wish they would quit remaking great films.I heard the “DIRTY DOZEN” was set for a remake.
Zack,talked a lot about him,was he cause of the Downfall.i don’t recall us playing “GHOST DAD”.I have a piece of Furniture Cosby left behind on his One man tour a few years ago,A night stand,Have it in what use to be Kyle’s room.
I will put them in the Mail to Nick and won’t even open the letter so I can surprized.I just hope he gets them on a bit quicker,He is a super Nice guy.His Email is on SUNDOWN DRIVE-In.Tampa.
Nice looking theatre,Lost. No big fanfare in the Houston papers,strange.that is usually a community event when a theatre opens in an area.

Thanks Joe, In 1909 this was an event for the whole region.sorta like a twin Theatre concept.
Thanks Chuck,should have known there was more to the story,just came across it about why he left, and i wondered what had happen to Lost.

“Ghost Dad” came out in 1990.I was long gone.You might be thinking of the 8 plex.Will try and get that Dray Feature Story to you soon.
Wonder which one opened “MacAuthur” with Gregory Peck.
Great looking picture.

i would say no Bob,I think for the Most part AMC in those years were mainly in Larger Cities in the South,In fact,probably just Atlanta.Maybe Tampa.
