Bueller?
Tonight we all went to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off at this old time theater that is just in town. It has been restored back by an ex-counselor that lives in the area/is from the area originally and purchased the theater a while back.
It's pretty neat. They have a whole bunch of the original projection equipment in the building and the seats are all original as well. Very neat stuff for sure.
Definitely a fun experience. The movie as well is a classic and pretty much never gets old... Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
It was interesting to see how times have changed... Both in relation to the movie which came out in 1986 and the theater itself which actually was built back in the 1800s as a roller skating rink, that had wood skates that they used on wood flooring (So I was told). It was then converted to a theater, I'm guessing some sort of vaudeville type theater, and then a movie theater. I'm not sure when, but perhaps it was converted over in the 20s or 30s.
One of the items on display in the lobby area included this super antique-y projector. I've snapped a photo of the projector and included it below.
Well... Tomorrow night is a night out in Portland. Pretty excited to head out on the town and enjoy some time with old friends and new friends grabbing a couple drinks.
