We spent many a night hanging out in the parking lot doing things our post war parents could not even imagined (or at least, that’s what we thought). We did things inside that are now foder for legends. Regardless, we had fun. The Century Cinema in Plainview was a big part of my coming of age memories. We had no idea ho lucky we were to be in a “selected preview” city. I remember, like it was yesterday, a friend of mine escorting Brooke Shields to the preview of Blue Lagoon…just because he had the right look and worked at the right theatre at the right time in the right city…go HOWIE! We had no idea that we were a part of history. I feel fortunate to look back and see what a lucky person I was to have grown up where I did.
