thank you for your wonderful story. I hope that we can accomplish our task and bring the building back to life. I hope you get that opportunity to walk down the aisle and watch a live theatrical production in the theater. Thanks for you memories and your support.

> It is still there. I am impressed. I worked at the old columbia Theater and State Theater when I was a teenager.....I always had fond feelings for the Columbia...I remember before each show , one of my jobs was to go down the aisles and spray air fresher......LOL, I loved the popcorn machine,saling tickets and being a monitor ( walking the aisles with a flashlight). It had a mystic feeling and I truly believe the people in Kittanning would love to see it restored.....GOOOD LUCK !
> I would so love to see it come back.....
