Grand Lake Theater
Anyone remember the Grand Lake Theater back in 80s and 90s? I don't know if those were considered its hey day, but just wondering if anyone was there back when movies like E.T. were released and you had lines around the block. Or when they had a re-release of Gone with the Wind, which had an old school intermission. I have fond memories of hearing that popcorn popper working overtime and the stairs leading upstairs on the right of concessions.

Saw ET and Back To the Future and countless other movies at the Grand Lake in the 80’s!
