I really hope they reopen it as a theatre… it was the best place to see a movie since all the multiplexes in the area were (still are?) absoultey horrific. Sad to think that movie viewing experience and technology peaked in 1922 for that area. I saw Silence of the Lambs with my friend and were completely freaked out. I also saw Rocky Horror at a midnight showing and was picking stuff out of my hair for days. Good times…
I used to go to this theatre when I was in High School in Albany, OR. The movies started out at $0.99 but then got “jacked” up to $1.50 around 1989/90… we used to bring candy from the grocery store and scrounge for money to see a movie. I remember seeing LA Story there with my best friend and laughing pretty hard. Anyway, it is pretty sad that it was demolished for a few parking spots… it wasn’t a magnificent building, but it was a cheap place to see a movie and have fun when I was a kid. Sad to hear that nothing like it exists for kids in that area now…
