I hope you guys haven’t replaced your great projectionists with high school kids like they have done almost everywhere in the States.Sad thing was the Union makes the movies,but has no say in having a trained Union person in the booth,never could figure it out.Mike Local 629.
KenRoe,I know this is a stupid question.I know what ABC is in the states.I even worked for ABC THEATRES,but what does it stand for in England.It has probably been explained,but I never read what your ABC was in relation to movie theatres.
Yeah,Bob you are right when my old theatres closed I was very close to putting almost the something on my old marquee at Columbia Square Cinemas or Columbia 1 and 2 theaters I could get to the letters easy,but decided not too. All they put was “CLOSED” and the “C” fell off over time.I got it.so it was"LOSED",Sad for a place that gave so much enjoyment.
The 1-85 is long gone.It is on CT. There is a six screen Drive-in in Atlanta,but Stan Malone would know so much more on your question.I think the HWY 85 is gone.
I know this is a bit off topic,but also in Meridan I noticed what I thought was an ABC THEATRE in a shopping center right off the interstate ,like the Royal Drive-in you could see it from I-20 and I think,this was 1975 when i went out to Dallas,that “JAWS” was playing?
Yep,that is it.the fence and all.I guess it was 1992 when i passed it.I can’t believe it is still there,but being so close 1-20 maybe that has kept anyone from buying it.I figured it would have been long gone.thanks Silicon Sam.
jwballer,I just can’t understand why they would go with that look.It looks like a butcher’s shop.If you just got to twin it okay,but not what they did.
Great pictures.
thanks editha and all the other great stories.

I would never know it was a theatre.
Interesting Story.We played"WEREWOLF" to great midnight crowds in the 80’s.
You guys have such beautiful theatres and really great stories to read.
Great ad!

Give me a twin theatre anyday.
Great ad Mike Rivest,could look at them all night.Thanks.
Cineplex bought out Plitt theatres,but i had already jumped ship for GCC.
Sure looks like a Drive-in.

Tlsloews you guys got some right nice movie theatres up there in Music City.
Love to have that one-sheet and 8 by 10 color stills.kids today have idea what a real theatre was.this my friends was a real movie house.
jwballer,I just can’t understand why they would go with that look.It looks like a butcher’s shop.If you just got to twin it okay,but not what they did.
Thanks,Tlsloews.
I bet this was a nice twin theatre,too bad we couldn’t have stayed with twins and maybe triples.
I guess you sent pictures of it didn’t you.I did not like 2010,but went in not liking it.You know me and 2001!
