Fifty years ago on March 13, 1976 your entertainment choices would be found on the page below from the Journal of that date. I was junior at Admiral King High School then, but not 18 yet. So I wasn't hitting the bars for some refreshing 3.2% beer yet. But I saw a fair amount of movies.
Looking at this page reminds me just how long I've been doing this blog. I've written about most of the businesses listed in the ads! Restaurants that were the subject of blog posts include L-K Restaurant, Arby's, and the Homestead Inn Restaurant.
Remember my post about naming your favorite comedy? Todd's favorite – Blazing Saddles – was playing at the Avon Lake Theatre, which is where he saw it. It was also on the big screen at Tower Drive-In. I saw it in a regular theater, so perhaps I was sitting a few rows behind Todd.
I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (playing at Midway Mall) in the theaters too. I remember being pretty depressed after seeing it.
But I know I didn't see the latest Disney live-action flick at that time, No Deposit No Return (also playing at the Mall) despite a great cast, including David Niven, Darren McGavin, Don Knotts, Herschel Bernardi (the voice of Charlie the Tuna) and Agent 99 herself, Barbara Feldon (another childhood crush). Gee, I would have thought Dean Jones or Kurt Russell would have been in it!
