Re: Friday Photography Blog No. 24 (4.00 / 2)

Mira is the same age as estHer, my daughter, who will be 14 in two weeks. estHer is an avid photographer and I post several of her photos here each week since she's in school when the photo blog takes place and can't do it herself. estHer is a member and comments from time to time on ET and did write a couple of diaries here when she was twelve.
You should get Mira to join ET and maybe they can converse. We're in France but estHer does get along in English since I'm American and I have been speaking English to her since her infancy.
Are you in Richmond, Va? I lived in D.C. for close to 40 years.

Yes, Richmond,VA--home of the ex-confederacy. A very strange place, actually, with monuments to folks that would, in less rarefied climes, be called traitors I suppose. Occasionally, we get the round up of local yokels all dressed out in wool confederate wear in the middle of July. They always looked a little pained ...

I ran into a museum curator who actually said "Save your confederate money, for the South shall rise again." I couldn't tell if he was joking or not:-)

I'll get Mira to post here -- Thanks, that's a great idea.

I know Richmond. I had a cinema there in the 70's and 80's; near VCU.

Re: a cinema? (4.00 / 2)

If memory serves me from the mid-later 80s, would that be the old Biograph theater, that showed what VCU students considered relatively exotic foreign films ...? Ingram Bergman 7th seal and so forth? Earlier, I heard, Bruce Springsteen was penning tunes for the E-street band on the stair steps of the Village cafe, two or three blocks down.

All of this pre-dates me, but I was there in the mid to late 80s and still remember the Biograph. If that was your concern, kudos for bringing culture to a relative wasteland.

Re: a cinema? (none / 0)

Yes. It was the old Biograph; (the main one of course was in Washington) which opened in 1972. We always lost money in Richmond because the city and VCU were just not big enough to support an art theatre. If my memory still serves me well, we gave the Biograph in Richmond to our manager in 1975. He lasted a few years and then it closed. I went to Richmond several times over the years and always enjoyed it. I don't remember hearing about Bruce Springsteen.

Make that "we gave the Biograph in Richmond to our manager in 1985."
