Boy,Nick,i am sorta glad i live in a medium size city,you have your work cut out for you and we are ALL waiting for another story,just wish more CT folks would read your writings.Maybe,they do and don’t comment.
Robin, Thanks for a great ABC/PLITT THEATRE REUNION 2010. The pictures from our party on the NATIONAL HILLS THEATRE site are Great. We will have another reunion for all of our theatres here.
Oh, TSLOEWS you were there in SPIRIT note the DRINK robin and T are downing. It was a toast to you and all out old Theatre dawgs that WORKED in the Business. GREAT PARTY ROBIN,and i think If and when we do another one i think i can get most of the1973-1979 crowd there.
Robin, I got the pictures and will make 8 by 10 copies and mail the pictures back to you.That one picture Bill had of National Hills theatre taken from the booth and showing a sold house and color cartoon on the screen i hope he makes me a copy. TLSLOEWS…I had to squezze in that dang red coat.Should have worn my GCC coat it’s dark blue and looks good.But it was a ABC THEATRE reunion. Robin, Like i told you TLSLOEWS wants some stories on Atlanta’s Theatres! Jump to it.GET Diane and Cathy on CT.
It wasn’t cool for Norman that night.he was pretty much a kid himself,but could run a booth. My one change over wouldn’t have went over well at the FOX theatre in Atlanta,but for a small mountain town we got no gripes.
Oh come on,you did this to me on some Drive-in about holding BOATS! LOL. I hope to be adding TRI CITY DRIVE in, MIDWAY DRIVE in and SKYLAND ARTS CINEMA this weekend if Nick is able to get them on CT.Nick, got THE DREAMLAND on ,but i really need more research on that Theatre.
Robin, SATURDAY REUNION is almost here.even if we have 6 or 7 it will be a good time. ABC/PLITT THEATRES kick ASS. 1974- whenever you guys quit in hotlanta.
Sean has a love of theatres.More so than his brother and two sisters.He worked in the business for awhile running the booth,becoming Assistant Mgr,but found out he made more in the booth hourly than on salary. He later worked as a waiter in Dallas Texas at a cinema that served food, Tony Romo of the Cowboys left him a 50.00 tip for a couple of drinks,and that was after Sean told him he was a big FALCON fan. I told Sean he should have told Tony he was a big COWBOY fan,but he couldn’t.Go Birds.
Our Concessionstand girls did it in their heads or on a sheet of paper. We were 80.00 short one night at Regency.Found out a new hire was pocketing some of the cash.
Don’t ask how we made up the shortage,you probably know.
Yes, almost right across the street. They [arts group} are trying to get money from the city for more work on it. At least a new roof was put on several years ago.

Nick, when will DALE MARBY Drive in be finished? If Charlie worked there interview him for the story. I mailed some theatre stories for you to put on CT. Thanks. Jennifer got a job at Sonic burgers and drive in she will be roller skating out to cars. they grow up fast.
TLSLOEWS.it is Augusta’s largest theatre and pretty much gave us competition during the years i subbed at the Imperial. It stayed open a bit longer,but what they were playing was the worst of Kung-Fu movies.
And sure the little multiplexs in the burbs certainly rushed the closings of both theatres, Today all the little cinemas that opened during the lean years for downtown theatres are all but gone,save one,MASTERS CINEMAS which is our dollar theatre.
that is a set-up I wish we would have had ;nothing would piss me off more than after counting thousands of dollars of box office,than go find why we were short 12.00 in concession. the way you guys had it was another manager worried about that. And usually by 10:00 pm i was not wanting to be worried were 10 drink cups were misplaced.
Nick, Thanks for helping us get these theatres on CT.

Silicon Sam, I will have to get Ray to look at the Picture,because I don’t think I ever went to the MIDWAY Drive-in.
Nick, thanks for the help with the interview.

Chuck 1231,I will check with my cousin Ray,he is from that area and has helped me with all the Hendersonville,N.C. theatres and Drive-ins.
Oh,Robin,go to PHIPPS PLAZA, TLSLOEWS wants some ATLANTA theatre stories from you.
Oh come on,you did this to me on some Drive-in about holding BOATS! LOL. I hope to be adding TRI CITY DRIVE in, MIDWAY DRIVE in and SKYLAND ARTS CINEMA this weekend if Nick is able to get them on CT.Nick, got THE DREAMLAND on ,but i really need more research on that Theatre.

Iwish we would have thought of that.
Well, in 1956 it parked 300 cars so it must have enlarged since above it is listed at 500 cars! It was owned by Phil Isley theatres.
I think the PASTIME is a dinner theatre too,like the PAL theatre in LOUISVILLE,GA.

Hey, TLSLOEWS,ROBIN managed this classy theatre. I was never there so she is going to have to START WRITING.
