Soundstage

DeSoto Theater, Rome, Georgia, USA

The DeSoto Theater was specially built in 1928 for the new talking pictures.  It opened in 1929 and was the first movie theater in the Southeast to show talkies.  The typography and lights on the marquee and the box office in the entryway hearken back to an earlier time.  With movies now shown mostly in multiplexes, the theater is now used for stage plays.

Rome If You Want To

Downtown, Rome, Georgia, USA

When we travel, we enjoy seeing old buildings, signs, and facades.  We loved the front of the Partridge Restaurant, which has been a fixture in downtown Rome since 1933.  Although we didn't get to eat there during our brief visit, we figure it's probably good since it's been there so long!  Maybe we'll drop in during our next visit.
