HELLO EVERYONE!

WHEN THE REGENT FINALLY CLOSED SOME OF US TOOK SOMETHINGS WE WANTED. I TOOK SOME OLD MOVIE POSTERS, AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEE’S TOOK THE CLOCK. IT IS STILL IN DUNKIRK! I DON’T BELIEVE IT IS FOR SALE. THE REASON I FOUND THIS SITE IS BECAUSE SOMEONE IN DUNKIRK BOUGHT THE REGENT FROM THE DIOCESE OF BUFFALO AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE KNEW WHAT HIS PLANS FOR THE THEATER ARE. THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THE THEATER AFTER IT WAS CLOSED IT WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE. MOLD ALL OVER THE WALLS, SEATS ARE GONE BUT ONLY HALF WAY DOWN THE THEATER, SCREEN IS GONE, CONCESSION STAND IS GONE, PROJECTOR AND PLATTER SYSTEM HAVE ALL BEEN REMOVED AND TAKEN TO ANOTHER THEATER OWNED BY DISPON THEATERS OUT OF AMHERST. WE ALL LOVED WORKING AT ALL THE THEATERS IN DUNKIRK. I USED TO HAVE A PICTURE THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME OF THE REGENT WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW, BUT I CAN’T FIND IT ANYMORE. FROM TIME TO TIME SOME OF US EMPLOYEES GET TOGETHER (ALL LIVE IN DUNKIRK) AND JUST TALK ABOUT THE OLD TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE MOVIES!
