hankejh,

re “and afterward off to the arcade next door (can’t remember the name).” That was a PoJo’s arcade (there were more a than a couple in the Treasure Valley in the 80s). Thanks for sharing your memories.

Hey: do you recall the old “Odell’s” butter ads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odell’s) that ran prior to the upcoming features trailers? I only recall seeing them at the Mann 4 Theater. They were very sensual in tone, had that golden 70s-era film look to them, and were narrated by a woman with as rich and buttery a voice as the product she was selling.

The “retail space” in question was a HonK’s $1.00 (capitalization accurate) store which occupied the former lobby. As of a couple years ago, the seating still existed behind the retail store area. This was confirmed by a HonK’s employee when I asked where the old theater was located within the complex.
