The Paradise Theatre was a wonderful place! I wish I personally had the funds to bring it back to it’s previous luster, but even if I could, I don’t know if there were many who could appreciate it as it was. Going to the cinema was as much a part of the experience as the film itself.
I remember when I first went with my mother and stepfather. I took off up the stairs ahead of them and entered an auditorium that was decorated to resemble an outdoor coliseum, under a starlight sky; statues lined the wall. I couldn’t begin to tell you what was playing. I was so taken by the place, I payed little attention to the movie.
I’ve mentioned to my wife how wonderful a place the Paradise Theatre was and I wish she could have had the privilege to see it. That place held alot of fond memories for me and I suppose whatever they decide to do with it — movie or concert hall — it’ll do the same for another generation.
It would be a shame for such a place to fall to neglect and decay.
