GCC had the distinction of picking the winner of the presidential election, through their straw poll, in every election except one. We would keep track of straw counts and forward them to the home office every evening.
I managed the Westgate complex from 1984 thru 1986 and while there I had the railing seen here removed the aid in traffic flow. We also removed the outdated high hat lighting to give the lobby a newer look.

Izzy had the distinction of being an excellent salesman. GCC had special ticket packages that managers could sell to organizations and he sold so many that he made more money than most home office senior staff!
I was an usher at the C-M and worked there while in high school. Joe Rembrandt owned the business and Byron “Barney” Byrne managed the house. At that time, it had a single screen with about 1200 seats.
There was a large area behind the screen and we would hang out there while the movie ran – the screen acted like a one way mirror, we could see the audience, but they couldn’t see us.
Next to the projection booth was a storage room full of old movie posters and stills. I recall cleaning it out and taking many old posters home with me.
Next to the manager’s office was the candy storage room. Needless to say, it was our favorite place to sneak into when the boss wasn’t around.
I worked there when it was a second run house but we still ran such great movies as Tommy, Blazing Saddles, Logan’s Run, That’s Entertainment, and The Giant Spider Invasion – starring the skipper from Gilligan’s Island.
As of January 10, 2017 demolition of the building has begun. I’ve been told a Circle K wants the lot.

Jim Collins is the tall guy in the back.

This is the concession stand in the newer building. This building housed four screens.
Phil went on the run the concession department at GCC’s home office in Brookline.
