Thank you to everyone who entered comments. My first job was as an usher at the Granada in 1960. One had wonderful memories of the buildint. Very sorry to see it go. But life does go on. We used to store the Pop Corn in the original Theater Managers Office on the first floor. The Organ at that time was still in the Orchestra pit and did go up and down. The Organ pipes were behind the stage and went from the lower basement and up to the sixth floor. We had pumps running all the time to keep the lake water out of the basements. The best week-end we had there was when we had ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘Some Like It Hot’ showing together. We extended the show for an extra projection and didn’t finish that night until about 2 or 3 in the morning. Yes I did go out with one of the ‘Candy Girls’. Thanks again for all whot have provided information.
