Older movie houses definitely have a feel all to themselves. All the best for the Byrd, and many more years of delighting the movie going masses!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Congratulations! No doubt you'll have many more years of successful operation. I'll have to make the drive down sometime. Any interesting stories about the place through the years?  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 12-29-2008 09:09 AM                     Oh yeah, forgot to ask along the same lines as Tom's question, do you guys have any ghosts?  |  IP: Logged
