I missed out on this one

One of the last single-screen theatres in the Bay Area has closed.

One of the things I really love to do is visit the smaller and single-screen theatres in the area. It gives me a lot of pleasure and there’s always something about the theatres–some have extravagant decorations, some have dedicated and knowledgable staff, some simply have small-town charm and not much else to offer. But it’s always a fun trip to get out and see a theatre that’s not the same as the rest.

I never got to the Park Theatre. I don’t know why; Lafayette isn’t that far away. And I just now discovered that it’s closed. It’s one fewer single-screen theatre for me to discover.

Goodbye, Park. I never got to know you.
