This is a must-see, if you have the slightest interest in a "real" movie theater.
Richmond's Byrd Theater opened in 1928, and has been in operation ever since. I've had the good fortune of watching three movies there - "Shadowlands", "City of Angels", and my favorite, "Pulp Fiction", in which a packed house enjoyed the sounds of the huge organ before the movie (it's a Saturday night tradition). Plus the price is right - $1.99!
Virginia Commonwealth University's VCU-TV did a history of the Byrd, and it is worth watching. Watch it here.
