Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Robins Theater on Aug 27, 2010 at 9:54 pm

The old, bad address I had went to the location of an Enterprise Rent-A-Car that was off the Air Force Base, which was not very helpful.

THAT’S WHY I ALWAYS LIKE TO TRY AND REMEMBER TO CHECK THE MAP WHEN A NEW THEATER IS ADDED, AND SEE IF IT IS MORE OR LESS CORRECT!

Mike; I see you haven’t added a Georgia Drive-In in 21 days! Now, you are adding North Carolina Drive-Ins? Run out of ones for Georgia? I have a list of 46 Georgia Drive-Ins that are not on CT. All I have is the town and the name of the Drive-In, interested?

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Strand Theater on Aug 20, 2010 at 10:57 pm

This is a way to get answers, even when I’m in Illinois. I emailed Laurie Carpenter Library Director of the Orono Public Library “SERVING THE INFORMATION AND READING NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE OF ORONO, MAINE” AND CINEMA TREASURES. Laurie gave me the above address and the below paragraph from “ORONO, MAINE, A BICENTENNIAL VIEW” published in 1976.

THANK YOU LAURIE, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK THIS UP!

“The Strand Theater deserves top billing in any discussion of Orono’s recreation over the past two decades. For thirty-five years it was located on the site of the present day LaVerdiere’s Super Drug Store on Mill Street, and in it’s advertisement in the Sequicentennial brochure shows that it was functioning in 1956. In the pre-television era and before the University’s Memorial Union was built the building housed an excellent theater and bowling lanes, the latter on the lower level. It was a popular center of entertainment for adults, children and university students. It also had an educational angle as the management cooperated in scheduling performances of foreign and cultural films recommened by University faculty.”

It does make me wonder if the Uniersity’s Memorial Union had a theater?

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Fort Benning 10 on Aug 20, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Mike The Pessimist; It’s been open for 14 years. It didn’t close in 2000 when Carmike went through bankruptcy. It must be a pretty good idea cause the U.S. Army & Air Force Exchange Service is having another private theater company build another 10 screen, 1,712 seat, at another U.S. Army Post that is due to open this fall.
