Now that’s a fine looking theater. All our cheap seat theaters are dumps that smell like the nacho cheese vat hasn’t been changed since the first batch in the 80s. We do have the Fox which can’t seem to decide if they want to be a classic movie theater or concert hall, they don’t do a good job of drawing a crowd for either, but it is pretty and has great acoustics.
The owner of the Roxy is always improving it. Just before Christmas, he closed the theater for the month of December and had the wood floors refinished. He had brand new seats installed and new carpeting in the aisles. He keeps the theater immaculate and keeps the Art Deco look.
After 9/11 he played the National Anthem before every movie, and the audience stood.
We’re going there later this afternoon. The theater is very busy. He only charges $3 and also reasonable prices for popcorn, soda, and candy.
I tell everyone about the Roxy, and friends of ours often travel over 25 miles for a great night out.
