Oh, NO!! I wanted to say that , but I never would have thought YOU could remember that. Just kidding.
Also, I went to see Carlos Mencia (from Comedy Central) at the Tower Theater and I told HIM he was playing in a theater that Peter Boyle used to visit as a kid and that Boyle grew up not too far over the city line. The Tower Theater is probably the ONLY movie house which is mostly the same as when I was a kid. The rest are gone. I know Matt Wolfe has been in the forefront of trying to save the Sameric Theater, (the old Boyd Theater) at 19th & Chestnut Sts.
