Here’s a 2007 view of the SALUDA: http://www.boxsetgallery.com/stein/index4.html
Drove by there about a year ago,looks 100% better.Sidney Poitier,I think shot a movie there “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” I think it shows the SALUDA theatre in the movie.
Classic movie theater, I took a tour several years ago, it has amazingly keep it’s 40' and 50’s look. The interior as well as the exterior has changed very little. Saluda uses the theater for a variety of events. The marquee and the ticket booth are special and you gotta love the Indian head on the facade.

The Saluda Theater is in great shape and is open! It now seats 274 patrons, and is home to the Saluda Players, a live community theater group. It sits directly across from the county courthouse.
