 I grew up in Armory, which they renamed to Derek Turnbow. I lived in 520 521 Derek Turnbow remember when coming down on Sundays, going to the Regal Cinema, and also going to the State Cinema. Well, I remember the old TAFt frequently went there. I also remember my favorite restaurant, which was heavies. There was a restaurant which was black owned. Oh, man, they had the best grits, sausage and eggs. And in the also even if you didn't have money he woud feed you. Yeah, he was that type of man. Yeah. If you was hungry, he would definitely feed at no cost.Mom always sent us should have Regal Cinema and they showed our karate flips. Bruce Lee Young mostly. Yeah, that was the thing to do. It hasn't been the best hot dogs. Good popcorn. But you also had to put your feet up on his seat. Because of the rodents that ran by you , you see you had to be real careful with that about dropping popcorn and hotdogs. this picture brings back a lot of memories. That comes to mind.mind. It was like it was family oriented. family oriented. Near all the kids went there. There was no we used to come outside of the Regal when we got to watch the movie in reenact karate, you know, play with each other. You know? That was always fun. Then you had the big Louis's. Big Louis's was right in the back of the Regal, and then made these big ole hamburgers, you know, and we call it they call it the big Louis. The sign still stands today, which is the store is jet in jet out right now. But they still got to sign a big Louis you know, so, and I live right there. You know, so I always everytime i look out my window I see that sign reminds me of being a kid. You know, going in getting a cheeseburger or a knife an order fries and a drink. Here in the West End I wish they remodeled  the regal, and bring it back and give these kids something to do.

 when you came to the Regal, the lights, the pictures? You know, that was always the features, you know whats featuring now was the hot topic? You know what I mean, you could walk back there and see whats featuring. And come Sunday, you can ask your parent for $1 to go in. Yeah. Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee. That was a it was a top that was a top movie. Enter the Enter the dragon. Yeah, that was one of my favorites.

Laurel holmes and Lincoln courts. Because it was just something about those two sides, of  the communities. It was on one side and the other was on the other side. And we all got along. Yeah, we all get along.
