Your images are superb, and the essay is excellent! And well done Matt Schultz. Will you follow-up with pictures after the restoration?

@DemocracySpot thanks so much Eddie! I appreciate it. I have already talked to Matt about it and hope to return to photograph it. It would be fun to do some side-by-side shots.

An exhibit of the old photos at the opening, also. And side-by-side for the theater archives.

Wow. The exterior also belies the opulence of the interior. So happy to hear it was restored! 💕

@JaneDoeTheFirst I'm happy they're saving it too. And yeah, some exteriors are pretty unassuming and then you go inside and it's amazing. Odd juxtaposition.

@AbandonedAmerica I saw Saturday Night Fever here in 1979.

@jacquiharper oh, how cool! That must have been amazing. What do you remember about it?

@AbandonedAmerica All of the wrong things, I’m afraid :D the balcony was already closed at that time, lots of graffiti in the bathrooms.
Matt has been fighting the good fight for years.

@jacquiharper yes he has. He's a great guy
