I grew up in rural Chesterland, Ohio, about six miles from the Mayland. As a kid, a distance of that sort was considerable, so any excursion to the Mayland (or to one of the movie palaces in downtown Cleveland) was an event.
My favorite Mayland Saturday matinee memory is paying 50 cents with my pals in 1963 to enjoy KING KONG VS. GODZILLA.
I was pleased by the Barnes & Noble takeover when I sought out the theater during a 1998 visit. Sorry to hear the business has moved. I hope the local zoning boys appreciate what a treasure the building is.
