Yes I don’t ever remember the Broadway going X. I remember the Towne at the end of Hay street was the X theatre when I was a kid.

Makes me very sad to see pics of theatres I frequented when I was a kid growing up in Fayetteville. They didn’t save even one.

I grew up in Fayetteville NC….Never heard of this one…See it was destroyed 10 years before I was born …..Saw many films in the early 70’s at the Colony, Carolina, Miracle, and Broadway theatres….I remember the Towne theatre on the corner of Hay street, but it only showed X rated films….There is no mention of it here or anywhere else that I’ve seen…..

Cha I grew up in Fayetteville, NC too….I always remember the long walk to the lobby of the Miracle theatre….Huge theatre with a balcony…..Two films in particular come to mind in 1972 (we were 14, my cousin and I took the bus downtown) that we saw….“The Poseidon Adventure and Kansas City Bomber”…Both first run….It grieves me to see they demolished all the downtown theatres!!….Miracle, Colony, Carolina, Broadway, Towne….Classic Americana gone!!…They did a nice job of cleaning downtown up, but they should have kept the theatres for historical value….Those were the days when we took the bus downtown and ate at the Woolworth counter where my Aunt worked!!…America at a better and more innocent time…..
