A Round of Applause to the Friends of the Boyd. Hip Hip Horray. Hip Hip Horray. Living in Philly, it is a shame what the City Leadership did (Nothing). A beautiful theatre is now destroyed. Loved going to the Boyd, especially when they had a Cinerama Screen. It is amazing that other cities can restore old movie theatres, while Philly destroys them.
