It has become a hobby to travel through cities big and small, and try to locate and photograph old single screen theatres, open or closed.   It is like a historical tresure hunt. At the same time, I get to see the downtown areas of these cities. Here are pictures of of a few old movie theaters I have seen in my travels across the United States that are in small towns.  They are still in operation.
 

                           Kingman Theatre in Kingman, Kansas       The Pamela Theatre in Salina, Utah

                                    RIO Theatre in Monte Rio, CA                Lorraine Theatre in Hoopeson, Ill

This hobby is way out of control,and have too many photos to show on my site.  I now display my theatre photos on a website called Cinematour.com  http://www.cinematour.com
