H Rahner: Often times CT member, “lostmemory” supplies photos so perhaps this will be the case for the Crest. Another sad scenario concerning the Crest Theatre demise.
“Nashville had several big movie palaces downtown, three on Church Street. All have been razed.” Very sad and very surprising that that particular city would allow all of these theatres to be lost, forever!
Larry: Interesting post as I’m sure your introduction gave you the opportunity to speak with Mr. Hortenstein about his days at the Paramount in Nashville. Now I’ll have to check out the Paramount link and read what happened to that theatre.
Steve: Glad to see a stevepatrick post! If you still have my email address, send me an update on a possible theatre purchase as I recall you were interested in the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles Illinois.

The Cinema Tour photo shows it to be quite plain in appearance and I agree, strange name for a theatre.

It’s sad to read about a theatre such as this one in need of some TLC and community support along with perhaps some hidden issues….“It seems to me that there is something more to this case than just the city wanting to be rid of a dangerous building.” so I hope that in the near future “melders” and others will make time to get involved!

Does Nashville have any remaining old theatres today?

It’s always fascinating to view the old b/w theatre photos!
A book on theatre marquees would be great, too as so many of the very large vertical ones have disappeared over the years.
Since this book is so popular are theatre books being planned for other major cities?
I wonder how the Walgreens Drugstore (former Strand) weathered Wilma?
Or go to my profile and find email address. Thanks.
