Tower Theatre

I am going to start contributing to this lovely blog in an effort to enlighten people on the awesomeness that is Utah!

I know it seems crazy, but there is a lot Utah has to offer.

My first suggestions for fun times is the Tower Theatre in Salt Lake. It is an old theatre with wooden folding chairs. There is a balcony and a curtain. It's gorgeous. I saw Goonies there a couple years ago as part of their on going midnight showings. Those are really fun, but totally exhausting. If you have the energy do it.

The Broadway Center Cinemas is a little newer and has all the movies that are tougher to find in Utah than bigger cities like Los Angeles and New York.

Tower Theatre facts

1. The Tower Theatre, built in 1921, is the oldest movie theater in the Salt Lake Valley which is still in operation today. It was the first air-conditioned movie theater in the city.

2. The theater originally had a facade that resembled the Tower of London, but this was removed in 1950.
