After a few months of reading postings here and there on this forum I finally created an account =P. I grew up around this neighborhood. I guess I was fortunate enough to be able to enter the doors of the Patio (pat-ee-oh) while Mr. Alex and Mr. Antonelli were running things. I attended St. Ferdinand Elementary School K-8 and I would go to the Patio with my family and/or friends pretty often. You can’t beat $2 (when the price was raised I remember being confused, haha)!
From reading the other posts it seems I’m one of the youngin’s on here. Just once, even if it were just one more time (although, I would be very happy, along with everyone else here, to see it open again), I would like to step through those doors and have that “feeling.” It’s a feeling you can’t get going to Crown Village or an AMC; the grandeur is lost there.
If someone were to hold a special event to celebrate the magnificence that is the Patio theater, I would be at that event in a heart beat; standing in line underneath the flashing marquee, $2 in hand (or $3 haha).
Does anyone know why the “renovation” on the marquee was taken down?

I just want that “feeling” back.
