I stand corrected. It was Ayres. My how our memory goes… but not for Ron and Dave! Ron, thanks for all the nostalgia talk. Great memories. I worked there for Marty Carr and crew for a few years. Great times!
@bobcat – Do you remember Brad Denney? Worked with your brother Rick, when both Marty Carr and Jack Kranig were the managers. I was the assistant manager for most of my years there. Started at Esquire in 1979 and was there until 1983. Long run. I remember your mom, Theresa, your little sister, Mike, Ron, and even your dad from time to time. I cannot list all of the people who worked at the cinema while I was there, but some of them were David Brinkman, Jeff Richards, Bobby Rickles, Nikki Gentry, and many others. It was a great time for sure. Didn’t know that even Bobby joined the ranks of popcorn poppin, pink lemonade pourin, candy bar damagin' cinema staff.
Regarding Esquire Cinema history, I still have my badges and the original Hokey (push sweeper) from that day. Amazing.
@davebindy – even before ayr-way, the store was Topps.
@Miyeko – That hotel that had the round dining area was a Holiday Inn.
@Martyj – Marty Carr managed the Eastwood Theater at least 81 – 83. Annie was a big movie at the time for Eastwood. Daddy Warbucks even flew in via helicopter, landing in the parking lot. Also red icecream was served that day. Marty Carr also introduced concerts to the theater after the Dolby System was installed and the Starwars days had passed. First it was AC/DC’s movie “Let There Be Rock!” It rocked! I think the first physical concert was performed by a group called Moviola. They rocked at the time as well. A song they performed was “She loves the Radio”. Ah… good times.

@Chris – I knew you and your sister as well. Also, I’m pretty sure that’s Rick’s Pinto in the pick. Cool.
