I worked in the box office at the Plaza during my junior and senior years of high school. Some of the movies that were showing at the time were Breakfast Club, Weird Science and Silverado, so the Plaza had to have closed after 1985. I don’t care what anyone says about the Plaza, it was a great place to work and see shows. When I worked there it was an RKO theater not UA- I believe it was always RKO. I remember the nostalgic 40s and 50s retro decor and the fact that the place was always spotless. I remember the color scheme as red not blue, however. I saw some of the pictures of the inside of the Plaza on lioddities.com and was really saddened to see the terrible fate of such a great place. I can remember Friday & Saturday nights of a movie premiere when the line for tickets would stretch around the building into the parking lot. Me and my best friend would always try to work the same hours; me in the box office and she at the concession stand. Joey- you stated in your 9/19/04 entry that you took some pictures of the interior- are these the same pictures that are on lioddities.com?? If not, where can I view them?? Do you have any pictures of the lobby or box office?? Any info would be welcome, thanks
