Final Curtain Call

For me, the closing of theaters is always sad.

For all the gadgets and gimmickry, there is one facet even the biggest home entertainment system can not capture: the BIG SCREEN!

That is why I believe in

"Curtain will close on two cinemas; Brookline, Lawrence theaters called not financially viable" by Angel Jennings, Globe Correspondent | August 26, 2008

National Amusements Inc. said yesterday that it will shutter two theaters in the Boston area in September because the locations are no longer financially viable.

The Dedham-based movie chain plans to close the Showcase Cinemas Lawrence 1-6 on Monday and the Circle Cinemas in Brookline will close for business after the last show on Sept. 7. The private company said it would try to find positions at its other locations for the 51 employees affected by the closings.

A bit of a tear in the corner of my eye, folks.
