Description
Fine Art photography, for hanging wall art or framed prints. Classic American theater. I found this colorful old movie house while traveling Michigan's Lower Peninsula in the town of Alpena. Located on Lake Huron's Thunder Bay this is a place where the townsfolk still go to the movies in style.

I grew up in the town of Alpena, and saw more movies than I can even count in this old theater. This theater orginally had a stage in it, and they would draw back the original red velvet curtains to show the movie screen. Somewhere along in the mid-80's an out-of-town movie chain came in and bought our theater. They completely covered up all evidence of the original beautiful old theater, and turned it into a multi-plex theater. I think the locals are still sad about this change.
