Jason, I love seeing the places I miss so much during the COVID19 pandemic. Thanks for your delightful insights into the history of these theaters!

Thanks Jason. Although I grew up going to the Lincoln and the Empress (across the street), I had not seen backstage. The Lincoln was a J Real Neth's theater and the Empress was a Miles theater - two local chains. The Pythian (King Arts Complex) on Mt. Vernon Avenue was also a MIles theater and the Cameo, also on Mt. Vernon, was a Neth theater. With four neighborhood theaters showing second run films*, we seldom had any reason to go downtown for movies. *Second run films hit the 'hoods only a couple of weeks after being shown downtown...except for the "Biggies.

I love the wonderful insights you share about the theaters that I miss so much as a CAPA volunteer! Thanks, Jason!
