Speaking of Debbie Reynolds. We have a beautiful Paramount Center here that was refurbished from top to bottom about 8-10 years ago. It had lovely art and paintings on the walls, lovely old dim lights on sides, etc. They saved all of that and re-did everything, seats, etc. but tried to keep it the same as it was years ago. It took several years to do all the work on it. Thats where we all went for our dates when I was a young girl. I remember all those great movies we saw there. It was the Paramount Theatre back then!

Now, we have wonderful plays, ballet, guests who come and put on concerts...just always something there to go see. Okay, Debbie Reynolds was here last year and we considered going to see her concert until we found out the tickets were $250.00.

I did go to a couple of ballets (Nutcracker was one) and I also saw a tremendous Elvis impersonater. Looked exactly like Elvis and he was great. I purchased a picture of him and its unbelievable how much he looked like Elvis. Me and my long stories.

I saw the pictures that Yorkie posted below. That is an absolutely beautiful old theater.

It is wonderful that it was saved an renovated for future generations.
