The Coliseum was open til the late 80’s. i wanna say “89”. I went there a few times when i was a kid. One particular time when I was 10, I went there with my older sister & her boyfriend to see “Brainstorm” & we sat on the balcony next to the projection room. The projectionist came out right before show time & asked me if I wanted to start it. ABSOLUTLEY!!! One of the best movie going experiences ever!!!! I was soooo nervous, all I really remember is flickering 1 or 2 buttons, and the red curtain (most the interior i remember was red) went up and the lights went down, & i heard the movie start!! I am disappointed it is now a “Banana Republic” but i read somewhere it could easily be converted back to a movie palace.
