I spent part of my youth growing up in Canton (E. Pine Street,½ block east of Broadway) where my dad was the high school Vocational Agriculture teacher. The most memorable thing about the Grand theater for me was when the phone company, upon converting from hand crank phones to dial phones, used the theater as the place where all the old phones wound up, and they gave them away to kids like my brother and I (Geez, do I sound prehistoric by saying that?).
It’s ironic that only after I had many years designing movie posters (Ai, Batman Begins, Dances with Wolves) that I discovered that place across the street from the Grand that rented(?) movie posters.
