Anyone local MUST plop down the $3 for the bi-monthly theater tour of this fantastic treasure. The kindliest docent leads you through EVERYTHING. The staggeringly beautiful lobby to the beautify powder rooms(!), right down into the belly of the beast underneath the stage (I half expected to run into spinal tap) right up to the floorboards. Fun stuff! Makes me wish I grew up in the pre-google-plex age, when movie palaces ruled.
Ah the towne kung fu tuesdays! Lines down the street for anime movie openings. Animation artists talking to a packed house of “hungry” (in every sense) college students. The funky staff. The warm soda, the stale popcorn, the mush popscicles. R.I.P.
