As some may know another one of my favorite places on the internet is the Utah Historical Site. I could and have spent countless hours searching through their photo databases looking at pictures of our city through out the decades.
For as long as I can remember I have thought it would be cool to buy the Murray Theater, restore it to it's original flare and show old movies. Over the past couple of years the building has been vacant but saying that the "super theater" is coming. To my sadness that day has come and the murray theater has been turned into a dance club.
I guess I will just have to hold on to my memories of the summer dollar movies that included popcorn, drink and a treat at a theater that was a wrinkle in time.

I LOVED those summer movies. I think my mom even let us go alone a few times and I felt so mature doing that!
Your thoughts here are waxing as poetic and deep as Kim's. I, too, remember the good ole days of summer movies at the Murray Theater. (I don't think I'd ever let my kids go alone like mom let us!) I'll always remember how Vivian Bronson SOBBED after watching "The Princess Bride" there. She cried and cried because "it was so perfect and too good to be true." Tracy Taylor and I just stood in the parking lot (waiting for our ride to pick us up, of course) and tried awkwardly to console her. I remember being mad that her sobbing ruined the movie because I just wanted to remember how great it was and not be upset because "her life could never be so perfect."
