The Grove was an Organ Power Pizza in its very last days. It finally closed up for good around 1983 or so. They sold off the fixtures and I had four original seats that I completely refurbished and kept for years. They looked great but were as uncomfortable as Hell. Offered them to the LG Historic Society but of course they weren’t interested so I finally wound up tossing them.
This brought back memories & I hardly hear anybody talk about this small theater. I went there in the late 50s-early 60s (mostly for the “kiddie mattines”) when I was a kid. I remembered “7th Voyage of Sinbad” & others that were shown (like “House on Haunted Hill” & “The Time Machine”.) The mattines included cartoons, short comedy & a serial chapter. We always booed the bad guys & a rousing cheer when the good guys got the upper hand. I thank you for existing & for letting me share my good times.
