Wow that would be great, I just Harry Potter at the Civic in Farmington tonite and I was thinking about the Penn— where I watched movies as a kid in Plymouth. I hope they dont try to split it up into more than one room…

Wow cool picture of the horse, as I mentioned much earlier, I was only about 10 when the Palace closed — so my memories are spotty. I was talking to my older sister and she said something everyne should know: It was not Rock n Roll or concerts that killed the Palace, it was the owners of the Michigan Building: they are the ones that destroyed things and created a parking lot (although Glantz gave them the opportunity by not living up to his part of the agreement).

Glantz' crew destroyed most of what they couldnt take, including the chariot – however I was able to collect enough ‘bits’ and glue together one of the heads.

Hi John, no my father was not Glantz — he was the unfortunte man that took Glantz on as a partner and was ripped off by him in the process — the Glantz name is not a favorite around here — my Father was however a Dr — I was unaware that Glantz (Gabe) was?

I grew up in Plymouth and would ride my bike up the The Penn to see everymovie I ever saw until I was a teenager. I still live nearby and go there whenever possible it is a fine place to see a movie.

The Palace was an amazing place to run around in as a kid. My Father was the man that tried to save the theatre in the early to mid 70’s by putting on music concerts. I saw KISS, David Bowie, The New York Dolls, Ernest Tubb, Aerosmith, Tammy Wynette and many others there. To walk in there with your Dad to an empy Palace and watch it fill up was a great memory. It kills me now to go downtown as an adult and see how things have gone.
