I survived Covid-19. It wasn't that bad, but I was lucky as it could have been. I've known some people that had it last year that passed away from it and I know a friend right now who has been hit really hard with the current variant. I'm hoping we are in the endemic stage and things will get back to what counts as normal. Of course, there could be war in the Ukraine any second so who knows. I'll muddle along like I usually do.
I've been finally converting my pdf files of all of the movie ads for the Martin Theatre that was a long time staple of movie going in Murfreesboro, Tennessee from 1967 on. The theatre is still in Jackson Heights Plaza and is known as the Premiere Six. I was going to start posting all of the old ads sooner, but waiting until next month will allow me to coincide with the 55th anniversary of the theatre opening. I missed a few Marbro Drive-In midnight movie showings when I tried to list everything that played there so I've been extra diligent this time around with the Martin listings. I will go back and update the Marbro ones I missed when I get the chance. I'm still pondering on how many film ads to share per post, but I'll figure that out soon. Eventually the Cinema One/Twin listings will accompany the Martin ones once we get to 1974.
That's it for today. Just wanted to let any readers of this blog know that I feel better and am looking forward to lots of postings soon.
Update: Here's the plan on the movie postings to come. I will probably post 2-3 times a week on the Martin Theatre covering a month worth of movies at a time. Then, once I get to 1974, I will start making separate posts for the Cinema One as it opened in April. This whole process will take around a year and a half for each theatre and since there will be many years concurrent I suppose it will take up to 2 years to finish this project.
