Thanks Charlie for your call and hopefully others will join the Carolina Theatre bandwagon! I’ve learned through more research tonight that the next door, Mint Museum has been allowed to use the theatre for STORAGE!?!

If they had a fundraiser in 2002, why not another one since it was so successful then. The interest is out there and should be ‘tapped’! On the following site: View link there is a story about the event that was held in the ruined auditorium in 1996 that is well worth reading and seeing!! I would love to see the inside of the auditorium though the website photos really help to give you a glimpse of what it really looks like today! The ability to see the past and present photos as a comparison really helps see what was and what isn’t anymore. I truly feel this theatre should be a community effort and the restoration of this once beautiful theatre become a beautiful reality! There are many theatres on this site, but none as worthy as this one to be restored and enjoyed once again by the citizens of Charlotte, North Carolina! If anyone reading this is in the Charotte area, please let me know what one voice can do and in the end if many voices speak out it will and can make a difference!

Falonia: “If Nations can buy Bank of America and completely change the face of downtown why can’t they save this theatre? They owe it to the people of Charlotte? Well written and my thoughts completely. And I repeat…..this theatre needs to be given back to the citizens of Charlotte!!

While looking through FL theatres I don’t see the restored Lyric Theatre listed. It is in Stewart FL.

This is a wonderful theatre in downtown Erie and thank goodness this one was saved as so many in that city were not saved including a Shea’s!

I had no idea that the City of Erie had so many theatres throughout the years….truly amazing!

I am near Erie in the summertime so will have to check out this antique store/former theatre! Do you know the name of the antique store or the number on West 26th?

I have been in the Erie Playhouse to see a production, but at the time didn’t realize its Strand history! And I didn’t know that Erie had a Shea’s. There is a Shea’s in Buffalo which has been restored and tours are given.

My father and step-mother lived near Deland in Deltona and during all of the many years we visited them I don’t recall the Athens in downtown Deland, but am so glad to read that it is being restored to its former glory, inside and out!

Does anyone know the architect or architects who were involved in buildng the Grand Theatre in Westfield NY? I have sent a letter to the last theatre manager and so I hope to hear back from him later this month. I may contact the local historical society for their help, as well.

While looking at theatres, by state, I decided to click on CT and found this one in Litchfield. The town has been in the news as it is the home of Dick and Susan Ebersol who recently lost their 13 year old son to a plane crash that involved both her older son and husband, NBC executive Dick Ebersol. May our thoughts be with them at this most difficult time.

We need a direct limk to that Simpson music video featuring the atmospheric theater as I’m not a Jessica fan, either but would like to see the video because of the location in which it was shot. Thanks.

corvetteguy1963: I’ve been waiting to find a theatre post from you as we’re Corvette folks, too….Bloomington Gold, Special Collection! Glad to see another Corvetter interested in old movie palaces along with old Corvettes! Do you have a ‘63 split window or convertible? LOL!

Patsy commented about Varsity Theatre on Dec 2, 2004 at 8:09 pm

My husband and I recently visited this theatre and even rec’d a tour of the projection room by the projectionist! How cool was that! And across the street on the corner is Top of the Hill, a microbrewery on the 3rd floor with a great view of main street and the Varsity!

This theatre needs to be returned to the people of Concord NC!

Jake: I totally agree! My hometown art deco theatre was demolished in the early 90’s and I will never forgive the powers to be who allowed that to happen!

This art deco theatre facade is remarkable and is added to my list of favorites!

I just spoke to a lady today from Salisbury NC and she mentioned this theatre, but I recall her giving me another name other than Center Theatre.

My hat is off to Charles and Celeste Patrick for restoring this special theatre which I hope to see the next time we visit the historic City of Charleston!

Patsy commented about Fine Arts Theatre on Dec 1, 2004 at 12:34 pm

Do wish there was a photo of this art deco Asheville movie theatre as it is the only one left in downtown Asheville! The information given by Chuck Van Bidder is so descriptively art deco so anyone interested in this era, like myself, would enjoy seeing it! And if you are ever in this quaint NC city go see the Grove Park Inn besides going to Asheville’s #1 attraction, the Biltmore House which is breathtaking during the Christmas season!

David: You seem to have more knowledge of this theater over many others and I just wondered if you are or were from that area of western PA?

Patsy commented about Raymond Theatre on Nov 30, 2004 at 5:41 pm

I checked to see where this theatre is located and being that it is in Pasadena CA surprises me. I would think that city so close to Tinseltown and the movie community wouldn’t allow such a cinema treasure as this one to be destroyed or even come close to being demolished! From one who has seen it come to be with my small town cinema, don’t let it happen!

Patsy commented about Raymond Theatre on Nov 30, 2004 at 5:37 pm

I hope the preservationists win this theatre battle against another Developer and Owner. I’ve been involved with a home in Buffalo who should be saved, but the restaurant owner next door who also owns the house in question wants more parking space therefore he wants the house gone! Such a shame!

Thanks for the film-tech site as I will try to contact the Chapel Hill projectionist and give him the info. I just knew you’d be able to help with this matter. :–)
