Sad that the theater part was empty for more than 25 years. The college applied for a Georgia Higher Educational Facilities Authority grant from the state to fund its renovations and received about $7 million. They are using it for film production classroom work, too. <br /><br />Comment deleted -<br /><br />I'm always curious why comments were deleted. :)<br /><br />FB -<br /><br />They used to specialize in westerns and the like. I saw many westerns there.<br /><br />I'm glad they preserved that theater near you, too. I like things like that - even if it is just a drugstore.<br /><br />Sage -<br /><br />I have never been to Key West, but hear it is beautiful. It's on my list.<br /><br />Granny Annie -<br /><br />There was an old theater near my office they used to call The Silver Screen and they had things like Alfred Hitchcock film festivals. There was scarcely an empty seat during those showings. I was sad when it closed and never understood why.<br /><br />Thank you for that compliment - you make me smile! And that is what I aim for.<br /><br />lg -<br /><br />No - it is a state school - Georgia College and State University. It is where I went during my first leg of college. A beautiful place to attend school.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-20265650879862490732011-02-15T09:04:12.090-05:002011-02-15T09:04:12.090-05:00What a cool deal for the college to own that!

They showed old movies like THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and STATE FAIR. It was fun for me and a great experience for my children. Sadly the theater is gone now.<br /><br />When I was in college I decided to take scuba diving lessons. I quit after the first lesson because,try as I may, I could not sink.<br /><br />Lynn, you must be a very cheerful person because you certainly do your share to cheer the rest of us with your posts:)Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-44548855487619351232011-02-15T07:27:34.700-05:002011-02-15T07:27:34.700-05:00The memories of the theater and its new use all so...The memories of the theater and its new use all sound sweet (Glad you can still catch a show there).

About 30 years ago.<br /><br />There is a suburb near me that had an old neighborhood theater (I saw Steel Magnolias there). The theater closed, unfortunately, but the facade was kept. They put local announcements on the marquee now. Inside, it's a CVS pharmacy, which is a little disappointing, but the old turnstiles are still there, just inside the outer door. I'm glad they at least preserved some of the old girl.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-7532988637507240872011-02-15T07:14:11.189-05:002011-02-15T07:14:11.189-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339789596944683688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-63142222609515048642011-02-15T06:46:45.853-05:002011-02-15T06:46:45.853-05:00Will Lynn maybe I should go with three today and y...Will Lynn maybe I should go with three today and yester and the day before, probably tomorrow too.<br />I sure like snorkeling but I'll just stick to the lakes.<br />I always wondered why some people think the things they own have a greater value.desk49https://www.blogger.com/profile/05795159954019523527noreply@blogger.com
