  • so long temple theater. i grew up in that theater. i used to go to those matinees in the summer. during college, i worked there for two summers. back then, films were not on the fast track as they are on now. i almost spent a summer listening to the theme song to the “goodbye girl” or seeing people leave the auditorium crying after the ending of “the champ”. it was fun. the scariest part of that job was changing the marquee. it gone done, but it was a nervy job with that old twenty foot ladder. even after the original temple was torn down, i went to the quad plex. i was a loyal customer until the very end.

i used to work at this theater in the late 1970’s. i had to beg the owner for this job. week after week i would go in ask if there was an opening. finally, after doing some volunteer time, i got the job. i loved working there. the concession stand sold ice cream and sandwiches, a nice change from the usual nuked hot dogs. being a film major at the time, i considered this place a way to advance my education. it did. I fond memories of this place, it was unforgettable.
