Mike Rogers commented about 360 Drive-In on Mar 2, 2010 at 3:09 pm

The 360 Drive-in parked 421 cars,so somewhere another spot was made.maybe they made the manager park out by the box office. The 360 Drive-in was owned by L.W.Lee.

How do you ever forget a girl called ECHO,had she been a Sue i probably wouldn’t have asked.My cousin worked at theatre in Hendersonville,N.C. he did everything.They took out the balcony and squeezed a small theatre in the space. It seated about 125 and they called it CAROLINA PENTHOUSE. See how I got back onTOPIC.

I will get them in the mail i know folks on CT will want to see them.

NO it wasn’t that Big. I think DANIEL VILLAGE might have been just a bit smaller than National Hills.

We need to talk about this Theatre Cherrydale 16. Well, you know how i feel about all these screens. I drove by the EVANS 14 Cinemas this evening,Counted about 30 cars.That is about what we would have at COLUMBIA 1 and 2 during school nights and it was 1978! AND TWO BIG SCREENS,

Now you see that is the difference between a big city theatre person and a small friendlier theatre assistant manager, We are just a bit nicer to folks that come to our theatres. And i don’t believe you would tell them to “GET OUT!”

I was hoping Bill would have made a few Copies from his book,that is what i was hoping he would do. I too.dropped him a line thanking him for coming. I think next fall we can have a decent ABC/PLITT reunion.

Okay that was a good story,but you said Cathy and you had forgotten so much about Augusta and seem to remember more about Atlanta. that is fine.Ilove reading them even the ONES IN NASHVILLE.
