Last Thursday and Friday I was up in Gettysburg, Pa on assignment. I arrived the afternoon before to photograph around Gettysburg as it plays a major part in how our nation was shaped in the later part of the 19th century. I drove around for sometime finding nothing to photograph. Until I came across this movie theater that was on the outskirts of town. I drove around the entire theater and only found about three or four cars in the parking lot, which seemed odd for me as it was a Thursday evening around 7pm. Weren't families taking their kids out to see an early movie or a young couple on a date. Or was this one of the many signs that still remains of the recession and how it will take sometime for the small parts of this nation to feel the effects of the bailout. A newly constructed theater sits empty on a Thursday night.
KC,
ReplyDeleteThat theater is always empty. It was built by the Gettysburg Conservationist for Christ Organization, whom apparently has nothing better to do with their money than build unsustainable business and run out anything resembling progressive thought or culture. Welcome to Central Pennsylvania.
