I am sure glad to hear from someone who has first hand knowledge of the theater. This place has left such a memeory in my mind and life that I will never forget. I was heartbroken when the theater was turned into an office space/retail store. I was really hoping that someone would have step up and tried to restore the grand ole place. Thanks for joining the forum here.
Where the tuxcedo shop was use to be the concession stand. In the back of the lobby, I think where they moved the concession stand use to be an setting area for intermissions and a place to use the telephone. As a child, my father would go there on Saturdays and watch movies all day for a dime. I grew up in Damascus and went there up until I moved away. In grade school, all of my friends would there on Friday nights. As I remember, the ticket price was a $1.50. I have a lot of memories of that fantastic theater.
I don’t think thay either the Clodfelter nor the Crate family has anything to do with the property anymore. I remember before it was turned into offices that I read an interview with the owner and it was a man with a different name.
