This pic was taken by a local photographer during our last bout of snow. I think it's beautiful. It's weird though, to see this place all boarded up and dead. For so many years of my life, it was THE hip and happenin' place in our city. I have a thousand different memories of spending carefree evenings there with family and friends over the years. It was the neatest old place and it had so much character. You always felt as though you were attending an exciting "event" when you went to this movie theater. I've never really been in another movie venue that had as much magic as this place did. The movers and shakers of this town put their money into all the wrong things. They should have their butts kicked for letting this place fall into ruin. It was truly a one-of-a-kind place and I miss it very much. I love going to see movies at modern theaters. That is an experience all it's own but I so wish that we also had the option to see movies at this place, as well. If it were up to me, it would be restored to it's former glory. I would have them put everything back exactly as it used to be and I would show vintage movies there 7 days per week. What a wonderful thing that would be for us baby boomers AND our children who have never gotten to experience a night at the O***.
