Cha: Funny that you should mention the S&W Cafeteria. I have visited 2 other cities…Knoxville TN and Asheville NC where they “had” S&W Cafeterias. The one in Asheville was very art deco and it’s a shame most or all of these cafeterias are gone now!
TIGLFF: Thanks for featuring the Ebersons family crest! I was at this theatre last Feb. for an organ concert and tour though I didn’t notice the crests or have them pointed out to me.
I just clicked on the name Joseph Urban and see that he also built 2 other large capacity theatres in NYC, but both of them have been demolished according to CT.
Can anyone give more information about this theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer?
I will be traveling to the Akron OH area on October 14th so will check out this theatre and report back!
Interesting to read in the article that Brian Wilson had an estate in St. Charles! Anyone know more about this?
Thanks Lost!!!!
ken mc: The renovation article posted on October 27, 2007 doesn’t seem to be available and I wanted to read it prior to my visit.
And the tour guide did not know about CT…she does now! LOL!
Photobucket account sounds like a good plan though you will have to help me with it. Thanks…..in advance!
Lost: I just spoke with the tour guide at the Carlisle and my tour visit is set for Thursday @ 3:00!
Lost: I’ll be in the Carlisle PA area next week and hope to tour the Carlisle Theatre along with the Hershey Theatre…will post here upon my return.
Cha: I have not eaten at Regas, but have been told about this long established restaurant through Atlanta friends whose daughter lives in Knoxville.

“a haven for the homeless to hide and sleep on the benches until the morning.”
And this is the Capitol of NC?
raysson: Thanks…next time I find myself in Raleigh I will locate the RBC Center site.
I agree…..it’s fairly easy to find exterior photos, but interior/floor plans are much more difficult…don’t know why that is!?!
What a very nice website!
palermo: I can’t be of help, but I’m sure someone on CT will be able to contribute these items.
Yes, thank heavens!
Yes, the fist! Thanks as it was great to see that particular fist photo.
“too young”…thanks! And you are correct…the first photo!
Lost Memory: Guess which Rialto photo I like better?
Not sure if this is correct, but when I tried to view the flickr/eye-fi.cfm site it came up “international gay and lesbian film fesival”.

“perfect place to show great vintage movie classics”
I agree, but sadly the bottom line these days is…“hard to compete with Tinsel Town”…with today’s generation I might add!

Great photo showing the original ticket kios!
