I worked at the Byron Carlyle 7 from 1990 to 1996 and I loved my job. Started as a usher and ended up as a Projectionist. The theater had a major renovation when Theater Aquisitions Inc. took over from Wometco, and than Cobb Theaters right after. The front markee that had the span of the whole front was removed and replaced by the hanging markee at front. Round mirror window wanna-be fixtures were attached to make it look like a cruise ship and it was painted baby blue… or Deco Style colors. “Deco Style” was the theme. The inside had two big auditoriums to the right, both with balcony and five to the left. I clearly remember the renovation, as they got raid of the old seats and old carpet and replaced it with some funky multicolor rug and gray rubber floor to replace the black tiles in the lobby. The consession stand remained the same but extensions were made to both sides to make it as long as the lobby itself. The inside hallways crossing from side to side were untouchedexcept for a new coat of paint. The old Century Projectors ramained the same, only that the sound system was upgraded to Dolby Digital, SDSS & DTS to meet the new sound experience. I had a good time and have very good memories of that place. I thought I’ll let you’ll know…..
