It really breaks my heart to read all these pages filled with so much interest and love for the Commodore. I’ve read them all before, but it didn’t really hit me when I was a teen. My grandpa co-owned/ managed the theatre as my mother and uncle have already stated. I was a little girl when it happened and I wish so badly my family would have known about this site. I don’t even want to show my grandpa the comments about saving it because I think it would make him really sad. I do want him to see the comments about the nice memories people had of it though so I’ll make a little collage. I think my favorite memory besides playing in every part of that place was dancing on stage before the theatre opened with my cousins. I don’t remember if music played in between movies, but it did before everyone started coming in. We even failed to realize it opened and we were still dancing on stage. I’m sure everyone thought we were just goofy kids because even an adult got on stage for a second to dance!
