Regent Theatre


Regent Theater
Never get tired of seeing the Regent sign lit up!

I love this photo. I always like the way downtown looks like at night the best. I'm glad the Regent sign is lit.

When I first moved downtown, riff raff was under the theater marquee 24/7. They'd be passed out there, smoking crack, selling drugs and fighting.

......and I remember walking around downtown in the past when the theater was still open (I enjoyed going to Harolds and the Waldorf bars down the street). It was a porno house then ($2 admission) and I remember one feature was When Women Had Tails.

oh I walked by there today and the fellow you wanted to interview before you left was sitting outside the theatre: one of the storefronts is now selling clothing.

You mean the tall guy with the cut off pants? The one who wears a hat? The one who pounds on metal objects with drumsticks for hours?

Was he sitting on the sidewalk?

giggle yes him! (although he wasn't wearing his hat today)
