It looks like this was once beautiful and distinctive, such a contrast to the anonymous places today. When I was young there was a spectacular Fox Theater in San Francisco - lush and classy. It was closed and torn down to make way for a boring plaza - the loss has been lamented ever since.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-6539628918946490172013-03-07T20:41:04.790+00:002013-03-07T20:41:04.790+00:00And we go along with it...

I'd go out of my way to see movies at these places so I could experience the unique decor and vintage feel they offered. It certainly made the movie experience more worthwhile.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-28928538599778460792013-03-07T13:20:06.262+00:002013-03-07T13:20:06.262+00:00Oh, this is really wonderful.
