I saw many movies at the Mayland Theater including the original Shaggy Dog and Parent Trap, Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, It’s a Mad (X4) World, and the original Superman with Christopher Reeves. As we were walking out of the theater after Superman, the wind blew the “M” from the title off of the marquee and it landed in front of my brother. Sure wish my dad wouldn’t have thrown that out years later. After Barnes and Noble bookstore opened there, we stopped with my own kids almost every Sunday after church. It was hard for them to understand how there used to be just one giant screen there with only one movie option, as opposed to the 10 or more they’re used to now. Great memories.
