Cinema 21

This is where I first worked in movie theaters (hired Jan 1984). I was working at the Valley Circle when this happened again in the mid-1990s. A friend was the manager there and I went over after my shift was over. We watched the little dais platform float around and kept hearing a weird noise like a fish breathing. It was air escaping from the seat cushions as the water filled them. The water reached the base of the third row from the back. Both theaters got new screens after this flood (Valley Circle only had water up to the 4th row of seats but since C-21 got a new screen, VC did too). I really miss those big movie houses. I also worked at The Loma in between the C-21 and the VC. Still work part-time in theaters (but it’s a multiplex)
