Our movie theater..... Downtown Sitka.
Couldn't find out how long it's been here, but it is definitely vintage...
Indiana Jones. What a fun rollicking movie.... that old buzzard that was once Hans Solo, some 32 years ago, he's still got it. How old is he anyway.....?????
"Age: 65 years (born 13 July 1942)" That's per Google. I would have sworn he was in his 70's. He's definitely up there, but still does all the swashbuckling and antics of his youth.
That's the entrance - the dark door to the right...........
and here is the menu. It's all very low key.
Admission for George and me was $5 each since we are old. I think $8 is the going rate that our movie-going friends spent that night.
The rest of the story....
Teka got a group of us together to go to the movies. We had dinner and drinks at VanWinkle and Sons. (I thought it was the VFW Hall until I looked at the dinner receipt later. The insignia had a similar look. Too funny. I was even wearing my glasses.) Anyway the view was great and the food very good. Definitely worth a repeat. Prime rib on the menu every night.
We enjoyed Teka's friends, all have boats at Thomsen Harbor. Among the group was Teka, the lawyer; Sara, the intern at the DAs office; John, works here for an electronics outfit and winter caretaker at Baranof Warm Spring; and the other John, the Fiber glassier and Mexican Hotel Owner.
THEY all went for a night cap. The captain and I went for the boat and a good night's sleep.
We are having almost 18 hours of daylight.... so you always have to look at your watch to determine if it's time to go to bed.
It was a fun night.
luv/jo
(& the captain says hi)

I can help lear that up. It is not vintage. The coliseum you were at is the third. I'm not sure when the first burned down (late 60's maybe) but it was taken out by a fire that burned most of downtown. The 2nd coliseum closed it's doors in 2001, the space was no longer avalible to rent and has since become the shoping center (such as these things are here) in sitka just to the left of the coliseum you were at. Coliseum mark III is now in the location of the former six lane bowling alley and it's attached eatery "lane 7". Lane 7 still exists in another location but lanes 1-6 are now the movie theater. I was out of town when the new theater opened but I'd guess 2004ish, there were a few years between the 2001 closure and the new loation opening.
