Well at least the building that was Columbia 1 and 2 is still up,Being used for a church and the other side a music store,Sure bet alot of Atlanta moviegoers hated to see it gone.
I have the article posted above somewhere that Alonzo writes about.As I said earlier in posts it was never same when those two large twin theatres were made into quads.
Yeah John,nothing like running a nice twin theatre,If I had my way we never would gone the 30 plex route,I pity the manager,or managers today, It is not the same business we worked in the 70’s and 1983 when i fially had enough.
I found it hard to believe that “LOVE STORY” played that long[one year] even though it was filmed there.26 weeks about par.It probably ran that long at Southgate Cinema.I am sure it seemed liked a year to employees with one screen.
I see that Grand Island had a Capitol theatre owned by TRI-STATE Theatre Corp. Located in Paramount Building in Des Monies.Iowa. Can’t find a Strand.Wonder if it had closed by 1956? Wish I could be of more help.
Tlsloews said,in case you guys are like me and didn’t know; is go to your Home page and on the above page click Comments it has everyone’s number of posts, some guys have over 10,000 posts!
I am pretty sure all theatres need to be on guard,even back in the 70’s we had a problem with crabs at a theatre i worked at,At least that is what everyone thought the source was,who knows.Bed Bugs seem to be everywhere now.
I saw Robinhad 185,but could not find Nick’s.You ain’t far behind.I told the guys at AMC ROCKWELL 16 that you made up that number! Guess I was wrong.To stay on Topic, National Hills played the hit comedy"I WILL,I WILL,FOR NOW" Rated R.One of the very R rated features that area would allow.
Great Ad,looks like they were big on Double features.
Great comment Stan.
Alonzo you must have sneaked in an old exit door like i did at REGENCY 8 Cinemas.

I have pictures,but no way to get them on CT.Thanks for the post Alonzo.
Alonzo,once again all that is written above,you are killing yourself with extra work.
Look at those movie times typical for small town theatres,and what makes them a bit special.Go Clint!
And it turns my stomach to read it was a GEORGIA THEATRE at the end,Please no more.

Needed a much larger marquee to do the movie titles justice.In 1981 picture.
Thanks Ken.

Thanks Alonzo but this is very old news and the Regal 12 has been gutted by Regal Cinemas.
Crying shame it had to show smut.

The Biggers Drive-in in Scottsbuff was owned by Floyd Bigger.Wonder if he owned the Otoe Theatre?
The Drive-in there was a TRI-State Theatre,Bet the Strand was too.

Alonzo, this is REAL old news.The expansion has been done.

It was written that way in the book,It could be wrong.
