i didnt know that Psycho is the reason we have movie start times. he mandated it
I lived in SV for 15 years. It used to be nicely insulated from the craziness of Santa Cruz.
Don’t know if that’s still the case. The people I know that still live there want to leave CA.
We found that the best hotel was the Scotts Valley Hilton. It was a full-service hotel hidden in the woods off of Hwy 17, was a 10-minute drive to Capitola, and was dog-friendly.

Just ran into a new nurse at my doctor’s office. She’s older and had just left California a month ago, getting an apartment.
Her husband and four grown children are also moving out over the next few months. One son is a policeman. They can’t put up with the craziness in California any longer.

We lived about 1.5 miles from Hitch’s HOTM home in Scott’s Valley.
“i didnt know that Psycho is the reason we have movie start times. he mandated it”
I don’t understand that.
Thanks. I had no idea that Hitchcock lived in Scotts Valley. Did you know that?
Where was his estate?
It must have been wonderful in the 40s. He moved there the year the “new” CA-17 opened, too. Made it a LOT easer to get to SV.
Rd later.
Did not know this
Thnx
easier to just look it up. there used to be no start times...that wouldnt work with psycho.
I just love articles like this- thanks for posting. Now I have to go find out more about The Birds and what the real story was. Off to the Rabbit Hole I go!
Thanks. I never heard of Armitage before. Their website says their tasting room is in Aptos, not SV.
If you want a really great place to stay, go to the Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel. My son and I stayed there a few years back when we went to the Concours in Carmel.
“easier to just look it up. there used to be no start times ...”
Maybe I’m dense. Looking up the history of movie start times? I’ve never known of a movie house that didn’t give the start times.
then you havent looked

“then you haven’t looked [into the movie start time history]”
You said “there used to be no start times”.
Fact is, Hitchcock, for Psycho, ruled that no one could come in after the film started.
Theaters have always announced the start times of their movies. Rummy would not look well upon your inaccuracy.
Did you not read that article....sheesh...
The movie industry changed after psycho..what part of that dont you get
Sure the movie houses closed..and there was **A** start time..but not start times like you see today
Not sure why you are denying hitchcock revolutionized how we see movies...but ...whatever
