I stopped by and saw a movie here this past weekend; here’s the current view of the front - https://flic.kr/p/2rbxZSg
The reason they went from one screen to three in 1991 is because of a fire. Since then they’ve replaced all of the seating with recliners (with all kinds of leg room - https://flic.kr/p/2rbyBbD). Unfortunately they did the seat swapping just about the time Covid hit so the timing could’ve worked out better.
I had the opportunity to go visit the State this weekend and enjoyed myself quite a bit. I showed up about an 45 minutes early and gave the nice folks there my story about how I was interested in touring around my part of the country looking for the small town, one screen theaters. After hearing that I was treated to a history of the theater, a tour of the building, and some things they’ve got in mind for the future. It was all unexpected and very cool of them to do. Thanks again!
p.s. sorry for the lens flare on a few of the pictures; I must’ve dragged my hand across the lens at some point in my haste to not miss a thing.
