Reading these posts brings back a flood of memories. We were young and our kids were small in the early 70’s and the Regency with its repertory format was where they learned to enjoy film. They were between 6 and 10 and soon stopped asking ‘what’s the movie going to be about?’ before our frequent forays to the Regency and joined the cheering as Groucho popped onto the screen on the front page of the Fredonia newspaper in ‘Duck Soup.’ Now if I can only ween my granddaughter away from Hannah Montana….
A few blocks up, Fiorello’s restaurant opened during the years we lived on the West Side and the first week featured a slightly looped hostess who poured wine for everyone as they walked through the door. Tomorrow I’ll go there with an out of town friend and she’ll surely comment on how pricey it is, but I remember it as a place where a waiter or chef always slipped my children free desserts.
Anyway, it’s a different world now and I do live joyfully in it, but find much comfort in the flyer on my wall for one of the Regency’s Fred Astaire retrospectives.
