I still remember the first time I walked into Beverly Center Cinemas in 1982. It was a mesmerizing experience snow rider 3d with 14 screens – something unimaginable at the time. It was not just a place to watch movies but also a meeting place where cinema lovers shared their passion. It was a shame to see such an icon replaced by a fashion store, as if a piece of cultural memory had been erased for the sake of profit.
Big Time for a Dime by Don Barker is a fascinating book for anyone interested in the history of that’s not my neighbor movie theaters in the Catawba Valley of North Carolina.
