What is going on in #NewCastleDelaware #NewCastleDE ??

I was walking home from school one day in 1983, and as I rounded the corner onto Fifth Street, I saw workers loading rows of fold-down seats from the demolished Earle Theater onto a truck. They were being saved to be reused, and I asked one of the men if I could have one. He told me to wait while he went inside the building. He emerged carrying a pair of seats, still bolted together. They were too heavy for me, so I got a friend to help me carry them to my house. #NewCastleDelaware #memories

According to notes my mother wrote on the boxes, these 126mm slides were taken by my brother in 1977-78, using the little point-and-click camera that we had. All of these are within about a block of the house where we grew up. It's fascinating for me, and very affecting, to see the landscape of my childhood preserved from the viewpoint of a child. #BelieveInFilm #NewCastleDelaware #delaware
