I don't know how many of you fellow native Western Ohioans remember the glory that was Dayton Mall Cinema 1. It was 30 years ago today that I was forever embedded into geekdom when, as a 9 year-old, I experienced my first cinematic nirvana there. I imagine many of you in my age range had similar experiences, which is why The Empire Strikes Back is so highly revered by a bunch of us crazy 40 or soon to be 40 year-olds. My parents actually took us to see the midnight premiere of this thing(which, if you don't know, was practically unheard of at the time). In retrospect, knowing my parents better now, I am shocked that this even happened. They aren't the type that do stuff like this, yet there we were. Thanks, Mom and Dad. |

Was at the first show, Saturday afternoon with my best friend at the time. Got sick on the popcorn, loved every minute of it. I'd seen many a show at Cinema 1 before it closed its doors, and I have to say it was one of the finest overall theaters I've ever seen. Good sized house, excellent sized screen, and probably the best sound system in the entire Midwest. The also-defunct Dabel Cinema will always hold the topmost point of nostalgia in my heart, but the Dayton Mall 1 is a very, very close second. |
