Too many useless replies are being created. I have a couple of options if you’re curious. Best Regards. Hello admin, I imagine it’s time to update the junk filter.

In 1978 I was hired as casual labor for the princely sum of $15/hr (min wage at the time was about $2.50) to hang from the edge with a lite harness and replace the 15w bulbs on the outside chasers as part of a major remodel. It had been many years since the previous change, many of the bulbs were broken out and had to be removed with the butt end of a screwdriver. I'm not a mountaineer, so doing this kind of work 7 stories over the street was quite the adventure. During that project, it was heartbreaking to observe a miniature screening room seating about 12 or 15 being removed to be replaced with a dressing room. I haven't seen it mentioned here, but the reason it was named the Seattle Theatre was that the Paramount name was in use at the theatre that is presently the (pink) Guild 45th in Wallingford, heart of the Birkenstock Belt. Apparently the owner wanted more for the naming rights than Paramount Pictures was willing to pony up, but a few years later an understanding was reached. Lovely, thanks for the update.
