I love the Richmond Theater,original name of the Old Town. My first job was as an Usher there in 1964,.75 hr. My first paycheck was a great big $7.50 cash. I lied about my age, I was 15 said I was 17. I worked with a great guy named Robert Taylor who was about 25 years old then and we had a great time working there, free movies, spit ball fights back in the lobby during the movie, picking up girls, man what a great life it was then. I used to walk to the Richmond when I was 5 to see movies, I lived around the corner on Cameron Street(remember 1955’s “To Hell & Back” with Audie Murphy?)Man, I love that building and all the great memories!!!!
