Shame this is just a parking lot, now. Such a beautiful theater. I think I remember it some from my childhood, but I can’t remember if I watched any movies here.
Google street view of the building that used to be the Palace. I’ve never been here before, so forgive me if my coordinates are wrong. http://tinyurl.com/yglssab
Here is a link to a Google street view of the building as it appears now. As said above, there is an architect firm there now, but they’ve done a good job of recreating a “theater” look to the building. I love the “Custer” sign above the entrance. http://tinyurl.com/ydje7m7
I think I used to go to this theater a lot as a kid. I think I saw my first horror movie here (if you consider Gremlins to be horror). I was 5. I think I also saw Flight of the Navigator here. Maybe someone can help me with this. Was the LaBelle lobby decorated with decals of Disney characters? If so, then I remember this theater.

Heard rumors from an architect in Charleston that his firm will be restoring the Roxy soon. Never been there, but it sounds promising.
