[mr.davon24]

Was it on wood street?

[mister brewski]

I think the Nickledeon was the first movie theater, not sure of the exact location though.

[mr.davon24]

^^^^ Thats right across the street from the Kaufman Building on Smithfield ^^^^

Does this have anything to do with the kids ch?

[mister brewski]

Thanks, for some reason I could remember the theater, but was drawing a complete blank on what street it was on. I have no idea if there is any connection.

That's the one, and I think it was on Wood Street Davon. Something tells me your cheating again. There was another one put up on the Hill right after it. I gotta wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Jack Warner of the Warner Brothers was from the Lower Hill.

3. Got the colors right so far, blue and red, but that's it.
4. Done.. Philly and Chicago.
8. Done.. John Bassano is the guy.
9. Done.. Mysteries of Pgh and Wonder Boys by way of FleetieBelle
...the rest of the correct responses are by way of Davon, his coworkers, and the ailing patients of his waiting room.

ADD number seven to this DONE list.. the Point was packed with factories and warehouse at one time via FeetieBelle.

My last count is six out of ten.

Now seven out of ten DONE, but what the hell, it's almost the weekend even out in L.A.

The Nickelodeon was the first movie theater in America.

Are you referring to me or Davon? I didn't look that up.

I can't believe I'm the only one who remembers what the different colors and patterns are of the old top of the Gulf Building.

To the best of my fading recollection it went like this:

Solid Blue...solid cloud cover
Solid Red....clear sunny skies
Blinking Blue...overcast with a chance of precipitation
Blinking Red... partly sunny, partly cloudy

I could be a little off, but not much. Probably close enough since the cocktail hour is quickly closing in on the Burgh...Chance of that kind of precipitation?

100% chance of an 80 proof rain.
