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.

WE had Stinking pinball machines at COLUMBIA SQ. and at GCC we had Video games a couple i think tucked over under the stairs that went up to the restrooms,booth and offices. I hated them.Someone would always throw a quarter in at 11:45 pm ans i am ready to get.

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.

Okay, I wILL GET THE PIECE of the Screen in the mail in the next fews days. I meant to put it in the last package i mailed. OUR theatres were the best in the country.I would put my staff at any ABC,PLITT or GCC up against chain in the country, Want to know why we would win? or the most part, we kept our jobs for years and could jump in anywhere except the booth, Simply put our people kept their jobs very few would quit after a month or two.IT WAS THAT GREAT and FUN.

OKAY, IF you want to feed us. I do not mind mailing pictures to you. I am going to send a few of NATIONAL HILLS after it closed. I went in thru a back door and took a few shots inside and it think they will look good on the site. PLUS i owe you a piece of that MOVIE SCREEN!

Oh for the good old days of a single screen house with 781 seats and great movies.Yeah, I am speaking of NATIONAL HILLS THEATRE and all the of great theatres that were built for showmanship and not video games.

Mike Rogers commented about Hollywood 20 on Mar 1, 2010 at 4:53 pm

Well, isn’t that great. A 20 plex! as far as i am concerned this monster doesn’t even deserve to be with most of the theatres, I will go as far as a 4-plex,but after that any more screens is NOT the theatre business,most of us know and love.It is heard them in like cattle and move them out after the feature.

TLSLOEWS.I saw on NATIONAL HILLS chuck 1231 thinks we should keep the consersation on the theatre I thought we did that 80% of the time.we might get off topic discussing a movie that played there and start talking about the film. But I always try and talk Theatre: let the Critics talk film.

At least Bill thought enough of the old drive in to take a picture. I too went there when it closed looking for ONE-Sheets found one a western called “CATLOW” and that was it. The booth had been hacked to pieces GEORGIA THEATRE STYLE. They had a habit which i have written about, tearing a theatre apart once they sell it.And you have something to keep since you played there as a child.

Geez, TLSLOEWS.did i do something wrong.All i know to do is talk about this theatre like you do to the theatres in your LOEWS chain.Maybe CHUCK 1231 is right maybe we do get away from the theatre. I will make an effort to tie in with NATIONAL HILLS I know Robin will.

ROBIN, WHAT stories about me? I never worked with CATHY I know that for certain. But you can tell me and see if i remember whatever she is talking about.

Robin,you won’t bore any of these folks,I know you had things that happened in Atlanta.just got to think about it.In fact you got tons of pictures.Does it cost you to put pictures on? I read on the REGENCY MALL FLICKL site that someone wrote a manager was killed at the triple in a robbery. I do not believe that. I don’t know what FLICKL does,but show pictures and people comment what they don’t know.
