“Well, here we are, Chip. Back in Beech Grove, Indiana!”

“You know, Babs. The old homestead really hasn’t changed much.”

“The Colonial Movie House is still open! Man, I’m so happy they didn’t get rid of that beautiful façade. Mom hated it, always saying it looked like a widow’s walk.”

“I bet you can’t remember the first movie we saw there, sis. Loser buys lunch.”

“Are you kidding me? It was “The Blob” with Steve McQueen. God, I loved that man!”

“That’s right! I forgot about your crush!”

“Look! Fire Station #1910 is now a burger joint. You’re buying, bro!”

This is “Steve McQueen” by Sheryl Crow

From 1958, here is the trailer from “The Blob” starring Steve McQueen and “a cast of exciting young people”!

  2. Dear Nancy,

    Oh those eyes of his! Love the story. Looks like brother’s buying lunch. 😉 I don’t think I’ve ever seen The Blob but might have to for the entertainment value. And I recognized Andy Griffith’s former squeeze Helen Krump AKA Aneta Corsaut. Thanks for the trot down Memory Lane.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    1. Indeed, Rochelle. Steve was gorgeous; those eyes are dreamy. And speaking of eyes, yours are excellent for spotting Aneta Corsaut. You absolutely must watch The Blob; it’s awful, of course, but great fun! Glad to know you had a good trip down Memory Lane. Thanks for your lovely comments.

      Shalom

    1. If the building was a movie house, Dawn, it’s strictly coincidence. This is total fiction except for Beech Grove, Indiana being Steve McQueen’s birthplace.

      He portrayed everything from a playboy art thief to a POW to a cowboy. I think I’ve seen every movie he was in. Another great actor gone much too soon. Thanks, Dawn.

  15. Our cinema has been closed for a ‘long time’. The first film I watched at the cinema was “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, since then many more.

    The old SciFi films with their odd effects were fantastic.
