Went here sometime in the mid-70s just as the toll on the Tacony-Palmyra bridge was changing. It was a nickel going over from Philly and a dime on the way back after the show. The weird things you remember.

I tried to see Star Wars here in 1977. The theater was jammed and I stared at a package next to a woman till she moved it and I grabbed the seat. My brother got a seat somewhere else far away. Then I noticed that my mother couldn’t find a single seat. She was heading out to the car to wait for us for two hours. I felt too guilty at the idea of that, so I got my brother and we left with her. To this day, I’ve never seen Star Wars. Well, except for the first five minutes.

During the 1980s, I took the el into town many, many times to go here. They had broadsheets with pictures showing their film schedule for the next three months and I had several on my bedroom walls. My first viewing of Casablanca was on a big screen because of the TLA. Also, my first midnight show with Rocky Horror, Fellini, Stop Making Sense, dozens of others and many were double bills if I remember rightly. That dinky little snack bar where you could get hot tea or coffee. And no sneaking food in, even though there was a popcorn store next door! Great place. Great memories.

My childhood friend’s father was a part-time manager at the Midway during the 1970s. His name was Anthony Lepera.
