The small theatres of yesterday may have had dingy carpet and been small, but they were unique. And the wonderful big ones! We had two in downtown Lansing -- not quite so grand as the movie palaces in the big city, but nice Butterfield Theaters -- The Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-42630887794307117822021-12-27T01:08:28.311-05:002021-12-27T01:08:28.311-05:00What wonderful memories.

The closest theaters to me are multiplex theaters and I do know people are/were going back to them but with the serious increase in Omicron numbers I have no idea if it will last.<br />The Alabama theater downtown is one of those grand old places. Fortunately it was redone and is as beautiful as ever.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-23763384129546226282021-12-26T13:59:16.764-05:002021-12-26T13:59:16.764-05:00I remember it being a looked-forward-to experience...I remember it being a looked-forward-to experience all my life. As theaters have changed, though, the huge seats have become more and more uncomfortable for me. I'm happy watching the releases on HBO Max or wherever and discussing them on Facebook. Times change. I'm ok with that.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-58846824401165987932021-12-26T10:39:59.050-05:002021-12-26T10:39:59.050-05:00Movies have always been apart of my life.

BC (before covid) it closed down due to age an not being digital. The owners raised over a hundred thousand dollar to bring it up to date. Then of coursed closed for covid. It has been reopened now for some time and I do see DVArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389131898875955178noreply@blogger.com
