Who could forget the Sun Theater, particularly if you lived in the First award. When I was a kid, the admission was up to 25 cents. The manager was a guy named But there would be two movies. Jackcies was right across the street and they had a great collection of comic books.

I remember the manager was a guy named Pete. By my time, the Sun was already in a rapid decline and towards the end it had a rather unglamorous nickname.

But as time passes you only remember the good times and fun going there.

I remember going to the Capri to see Ben Hur, but the best memory was when the Capri was having their grand opening in the 60’s. Back then diagonally across the street was the old YMCA, my dad and I came out to see the grand opening. They had a number of large keg lights and it was as close Binghamton to come to replicating a Hollywood movie premier.

I have fond memories that of going to the Crest. My dad was friends with the manager and as a result admission was free. Back then we celebrated Russian Christmas, as a result there was not much to do on December 25. If was great that the Crest was open.
