I can remember as a kid going to the Ada all summer long (every Wednesday morning if I recall) for a series of awesome movies… cowboy movies, movies like “Jason and the Argonauts,” “Mysterious Island,” Disney movies, etc. We’d always take the same spot – first row of the balcony. The place would be packed with kids, who were cheering the good guys and booing the bad guys. (I think the ticket for the whole series was 2 bucks. Popcorn and soda were 20 cents each.)

(I’m a bit too young for the Rialto, but remember the Pinney and Boise Theaters… my buddy and I watched Disney’s “Blackbeard’s Ghost” 3 times, back-to-back, at the Boise; I was sure a better movie had never been made!)

Do you remember the Rio, Rialto, Pinney and Boise theaters too? No wonder we didn’t get TV here for many years. When you factor in the drive-ins you could go to a different movie every night of the week. Big screens. Those were the days.
