Anyone here been to the newly reopened Patio Theatre on Irving and Austin? I used to go there alot as a kids & teenager. They've recently reopened showing relatively newer movies and only charge $5. I went last night, and wow, it was like walking into a time warp! It's still a beautiful old style theatre with 1500 seats,with twinkling stars and moving clouds on the ceiling. Everything was EXACTLY as it was the last time I was there about 40 years ago! The same concession counter,funky bathrooms, the spanish deco water fountains with the low stream, but the granduer of the place was amazing. I probably spent more time looking at and basking in the interior,moving clouds, and twinkling stars than the movie. (Capt. America...OK, but not what I expected.). Anyone wanting to experience what it used to be like in the 'ol days should check it out.
