What my hometown cinema looks like now

[Trevor]

According to GoogleMaps, this is what the Embassy Cinema in Gweru, Zimbabwe - where I saw all my movies from 1974 - 1986 - looks like now

It says "Yes, we're open today" I wish you weren't.

It's a cosmetics store...?

Yes, and a jewelry store as well.

I see they sell genuine fake Rolexes there too.

I wonder if they know the place's history? I doubt it.

I wrote something about it on Google, the owner replied and said the cinema is still used for church services so it's not totally disused. 😊😊

Been noticing that as a common thing with all the old cinemas around my home town for decades.....

This is where I saw most films in the 70's- in Paw Paw. Mich. It looks almost EXACTLY the same. (likely the same paint).
It's been there since 1926.



Paw Paw has the only theater within 30 miles around here, so that's where we went. Good memories.
 WIILLARD (1971) was the first film I saw there.

It's nice that some things haven't changed
