The Luciann February 29, 2008

Here’s another Memphis landmark.  Another old movie theatre building which I mentioned in my first book, the beloved Luciann.  The outside architecture of the building is amazing.  Luciann (It was named for the architect’s daughter) is carved in the concrete over the marquee.

But it’s now the Paris Adult Movie Theater.

Ahhh…memories….oh wait, I’ve never been here before.  Seriously.  Never.  Not once.  ;-)

Remember my post a while back about searching for a picture online of the bookstore I worked in while I lived in Memphis?  Remember all I could find was a pic of the toilet?  Well, thanks to a really cool website I came across called Cinema Treasures all about old movie theatres, I finally found some cool pics.  I was so excited to find these.  Back in the day, it was called The Plaza Theatre.

This photo was taken on the last night it was a movie theatre.  Since Dirty Dancing was playing, it had to be 1987.

Here is a link to it today as a bookstore. 

Ahhhh….the memories…

I’ve been plotting a book already about the year that I worked there!  Yeah, that’s all I need…another book to write!

Woo! Hoo!  How fun is this to be posting on a day that I can’t post on for another 4 years?  Pretty exciting stuff.  If my birthday was today, I’d be 8.  I’m more excited about this being the end of February, and we are one day closer to spring.  Oh, and I only have one more week of work before I go on vacation, but more about that later.

Happy Leap Year Everyone!
