I grew up in Va Beach during the 60s and have many happy memories of the Beach and the Bayne. The Beach got the better movies, the Bayne the “B” features. The Beach was parent-approved and the Bayne was “off limits” as 16th street was the “bad section” of town. All the more fun to sneak down there. The 1st movie that I saw at the Beach was “The Misadventures of Merlin Jones” and at the Bayne, “King Kong vz. Godzilla”.

Mr. Alfred Willis, Do you have old newspaper copies (Virginian Pilot or Ledger Star) w/ box Ads for the Beach and the Bayne that you would be willing to sell? I grew up in Va Beach during the 60s and have many happy memories of the Beach and the Bayne. The Beach got the better movies, the Bayne the “B” features. The Beach was parent-approved and the Bayne was “off limits” as 16th street was the “bad section” of town. All the more fun to sneak down there. I would love to see the little Box Ads for the Beach and the Bayne from the Movie page of the Norfolk papers again. Please let me know.
