Terrible news, teriible. I had the good fortune to grow up just outside York and my Friday nights were often spent doing various things, one of which was meeting girls outside the Odeon Cinema on Blossom Street, decked out in some orange tab Levis and smelling of Lynx. Inside Screen One, toward the back left, I experienced the excitement of Movies, LSD and what it’s like to have unprotected sex on a cinema chair on a weekly basis. I ’m now living in New York and although I still like the occasional Friday night out at the cinemas in Times Square, one quite can’t recapture that Odeon Magic. I recently took a winter vacation to Miami and saw for myself that the vast majority of South Beach is made up of breathtakingly great-looking Art Deco buildings, all immaculate, all freshly painted and all of them functional and obviously loved. The Odeon probably won’t be able to be a cinema if the City Screen and that nasty cinema out on cliffords moor are still competing so (it doesn’t have to be it’s the building that I love), why not paint it white and turquoise, put a pool on the roof and turn it into York’s finest hotel. You could even call it the Delano!!
