Other old theatres:
- The Grande. Before stadium seating came back, this was the last theatre that had it in Calgary
- The theatres at the base of the tower, where Veritgo is now.
- The theatres where the Calgary Convention Centre is now - saw "Short Circuit" there.

I can remember watching the now banned Disney movie with Uncle Remus, sings of the South? at the Esso theatres. Thought s theatre in office building was the coolest thing.
Spent some time at the Back Alley, too much time. Stinky's, Sharky's, Coconut Joe's, Three Cheers, Warehouse. So many.
It's been 20 years since I've lived in Calgary. I'm sure lots had changed.
