Looks like we may lose The River Oaks Theater and the Alamaba Theater...

I don't understand why Barnes & Noble couldn't have moved into the Alabama location.

There are some vintage shots here...

If they close the River Oaks, where will we go for the premieres of cinema classics like Farenheit 9/11 or Brokeback Mountin'?

I think the Gore global warming opus is playing there now.

I seldom go to B & N, Bookstop, or Borders anymore. I usually get books and music from Amazon these days. I really consider the Alabama gone since it stopped being a theatre and became Bookstop. I still remember that huge screen, where i saw the premires of movies like The Empire strikes Back, Alien, The Omen, etc

I saw the premiere of Love Story at the Alabama, 1971.

Suddenly, I wish I had kept that fact to myself. :-|
