I am so sad that Wynnewood has been torn down. I have so many memories of Saturdays spent at the movies with my friends. We would watch the movies and cartoons over and over again, as you could stay as long as you wanted. We stayed the whole afternoon, seeing the shows, then running up the aisle to get another coke or a 5 cent pickle, then running back to our seats. We saw so many Disney movies, The Love Bug, Born Free,all the Kurt Russell and James Garner movies – what a great time to be a kid. It was safe for parents to leave us there all day and not worry about perverts. I remember too the ad that always ran that just was the verse from the Bible, John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” The lobby was really cool. I loved the “cry room” they had at the back of the theater. It was a small room where a parent could take their baby or child to hear the movie, but not disturb others in the movie when the child was being loud. It was a great touch. I guess the last movie I saw there was “Jaws” when it first came out. It may be torn down now, but will remain alive forever in my memories.
