Can't tell you how many many Saturday evenings were spent watching movies in the Grand. Bill and Ruth Powelson managed it at that time and it was always packed. Thank you for working on bringing it back.

My first job was at the Grand! Sis, you got me the job, remember? And sis, remember the boy that worked there that I absolutley loved? LOL Lots of memories. It was the summer of my Soph. year at Big Red. I sold tickets all during that summer and all through the school year, working after school and weekends.
Does anybody remember Ruth's poodle or Bill's clarinet? The poodle was always sitting on the glass candy counter when Ruth was there. Anybody remember it's name?
I remember the summer discount tickets-I had to take my little brother and sister every Tues,. rain or shine. I remember working Saturdays, running to downtown Bakery after work for their awesome iced angel food cakes, and watching from the ticket window for my out-of-town boyfriend to show up.
How great it would be so see the old Grand once again operable. Back then, we all felt safe enough to shop until dark or head to the movies without being afraid.
I'd love to see some of the kids I worked with write on here. That would have been around 1964 to 1966A very worthwhile project--THANKS!?  A very worthwhile project.A very worthwhile project--THAA very worthwhile project--THANKS

Chris Moorhead I remember kid day down at the old Paramount having kid day My mom would drop us off and we watch a ton of movies all day. Man that was a blast

Stacy Bricker Morton I was a popcorn pusher there in the mid to late 70's Had so much fun I wish I could remember the managers name, he was a trip.

Lois Rupert Moffat Remember when we bought books of movie tickets for summer vacation ? They were sooooo cheap and we saw all the new movies ! I especially remember going to see "Lady Sings the Blues" with Diana Ross.......at the Paramount....with all the glorious red velvet curtains and the little balcony seats !

Carrie Campbell Wow. Grand Theater. So many memories. I remember you could watch the movie until you were tired. Childhood. Fun times. Steubenville sure could use it.

Rebecca Wamsley Van Nuys The last movie I saw there was a Bigfoot movie. My brother and I were old enough that Mom dropped us off alone. Memories!!!

this theater every Sat. we use to get tickets at school. I will not
tell you what it cost you would not believe me. I think the last show I
saw here was The Ten Commandments. I loved to go here with my Grandma.

Eugene Candal Tickets bought at Grant School would get you in all summer long and the pop corn candy bar and soda would all be under a buck. I know you all remember Ma and Pa Kettle. Come on give up that age and admit it. LOL. I liked the Tarzan movies. Glad someone is restoring it. The Ville deserves it.

Tess Rheinhardt That's great this is getting restored, I've always thought it was a shame it ever closed. I remember watching the exorcist from the balcony...Scary!!!!
