I saw it and having lived in Abilene for a year (building a radio station) it brought back memories of watching classics at the Paramount. An old friend of mine does the "stand up" before each movie is screened. It is indeed a beautiful theatre.

I didn't notice it (I mainly ignore the entries on the homepage as most of them are links to forum topics I will see when entering the forum).

If the link had a picture I probably would have noticed it.

Looks like a nice cinema, would it be possible to have a brief history of the building on the page with the video?

It is sad that so many pre-war cinemas have either been lost or are derelict, with threat of destruction.

Saw it about 5 years ago, maybe more.

Anyway maybe the frame around the Recent Warehouse Additions Could change color gradient when there is something new or even just a red border around the normal-colored box. Not sure how to code that, though.

Anyway, there are more things about to be added so keep a look out, folks!

I did not notice it.

It's great, though. Very impressive how you magically teleported through the front doors.

I noticed it and though the video was excellent. One of the things I always keep my eye out for is recent warehouse additions. I like to look at it to get ideas for designing my home screening room as it's always in a constant state of change.

I like the video tour concept.

Perhaps I looked at it within the first few hours it was posted. I viewed it again and paused it at several points to see more clearly the detail of a given space. I found the stage area rather unique. Are there any dressing room areas?

Joe, Your videography is improving with every new tour you shoot. Keep it up.
