In the late 60&#39;s I saw Gone with the Wind at the Uptown and in the scene where Atlanta is burning and on that giant movie screen it was so bright and vivid you could almost feel the heat.<br />The Uptown theater really spoiled me growing up because I have yet to find a movie theater that even comes close. Its was truly spectacular.<br />Alold guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290788206338778145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700192481160437156.post-37903751503146887182010-11-09T03:34:32.792-06:002010-11-09T03:34:32.792-06:00That metal cladding was just awful, wasn&#39;t it? It was quite the pleasant surprise to see the Riv Building restored. Wish the economy was better so we can see some similar projects.Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17374925727669703513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700192481160437156.post-12517562667068718022010-11-09T02:28:49.690-06:002010-11-09T02:28:49.690-06:00Wow... Nelson Brothers! Goldblatt&#39;s! The Riv showing movies! The UPTOWN showing movies. What wonderful photos these are. And how nice that the Riv building has already been so nicely restored (that covering was ATROCIOUS).RcktMan Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17638849935882447342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700192481160437156.post-64501552519045003402009-05-15T02:14:00.000-05:002009-05-15T02:14:00.000-05:00Do you notice any "consistencies" in those two pictures from when Uptown was an actual place to be or visit?

It's interesting to note that the Riv building was already covered in the tacky tan siding in 1964.Uptown Updaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10714258095661297253noreply@blogger.com
