Just so weird that I never heard of them. Was there also a Galax and a Strand or are you just comparing them with others elsewhere? I do remember the Melba if we haven't mentioned that yet. I spent a lot of time in the Fairfield Theater on Saturdays when you could watch a double-feature and stay and watch again if you want to ... for the price of one admission. My family used to go out to eat on Friday night at Lochamy's next door to the Fairfield and then go to the movie. Laura I In a message dated 11/9/2007 6:27:21 P.M.
