markcdavis commented about Framingham Cinema Shoppers' World on Nov 2, 2005 at 10:19 am

In about 1972 at age 16, I worked as an usher/popcorn-maker at the General Cinema at Shoppers World. I worked there during the showing of The Godfather and Jeremiah Johnson. Let me tell you that the “oil” used to pop the corn was a vile substance. I would eat food during my breaks at the Roundup steak/burger place next door. I had a crush on a girl who worked behind the candy counter (cannot recall her name) whom I met a few times later at the Common in Framingham Center in 1973 (I think she lived near there). After I quit my job, I snuck into the thetaer w/ a few friends via that outdoor smoking area (encircled w/ concrete blocks). My former boss caught us and told me “You can never come back here again.” I wish I could remember his name. In 1974, at around the time I finished high school at Framingham North High, I streaked naked through Shoppers World. I moved to California in 1980 but my mom still lives in Framingham.
