I worked at the Odeon in the mid seventies as an usher when I was in high school. It was a great job for a kid…getting to see so many films…meeting people…in fact, I met my wife while I was working there. She worked at the concessions counter and it was love at first sight. Hamilton had a lot of great theaters downtown…the old Palace, Century, Capitol, Tivoli…grand old places. Downtown used to be a great place back then. When I drive down King street and see the Odeon closed down and all the other places gone…it makes me sad. I sure would love to hear from others who have some thought about some of our lost treasures.
