Robin,in that stack of material you gave me was PROMENADE stationary letter head.would you want it back just to keep.It was in Mint condition.If not you know i will take care of it. I also liked that list of things to do at opening,during the show work,and closing.Did your Mr.Anderson come up with all of that.He must have thought you all were stupid.like i said earlier,I would have lasted a week or so with him.

Nick, I know i gave you too many theatres to do! The Skyland Arts Cinema was in Hendersonville,not Forest City,I put notice on that on the Skyland Arts site,so maybe CT will fix the town.Surprized someone on CT didn’t catch it before I did. You STILL ARE the best at getting articles on CT.

Yeah,we met at a Western Film fair back in the 90’s. His favorite movie was 2001 so that did it,plus like me,he had a strange habit, that i honestly thought only Nick and I had about exploring old Drive-ins and old Theatres.A few we were able to get in.Nick and his friend Charlie hit the Flordia backroads and put on a very impressive VHS old Drive-ins and walk-ins open or closed together. I need to get mine on DVD soon.He is a big help putting my chopped up material 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.

Mike Rogers commented about Movie Poster Museum Exhibit on Feb 19, 2010 at 5:26 pm

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.

Mike Rogers commented about Panther Drive-In on Feb 19, 2010 at 5:16 pm

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.

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.
