The Last Picture Show


I thought I'd post this picture my father sent me. The only movie theatre in my hometown closed down last week. I saw my first movie there in 1968 (The Jungle Book), and attended faithfully almost every Saturday afternoon as a child. When I was really young, my friends and I would either ride our bikes or walk to town (about a mile), see a movie, and then head back home. Admission was 50 cents for kids, and for another 50 cents you could get popcorn and a Coke.
