Fantastic shot of a nostalgic theatre! Not many of these lovely places around. A little rough around the edges, but it gives them an undenyable character.

Great looking old theater. 5 bucks? That is a great deal. Cable gets that for an older "On Demand" movie and I think its robbery. But to see a new movie on a big screen? Yes, that IS a bargain. Fine photo. :-)

Bravo ! That is so great to see something like this where the family actually kept tradition alive and at a reasonable price too. It's nice to know somethings stay the same in this world of our's and so glad you shared it.
