save the AMC Narrows Plaza 8!

It is a thing of beauty, but it won't be a joy forever unless we act now to save it from destruction.

The AMC Narrows Plaza 8 is a theater frozen in time, a woolly mammoth cloaked in brown brick and beautiful 70s-era styling cues. I wish I had taken a camera when I last went. It's a time capsule, a monument.

Let's hope it meets the "specific criteria for a building less than 50 years old," so it can be saved for posterity as a memorial to the tackiest decade in American architecture, the greatest decade in American film.

Look at that empty parking lot. Without our help, the Narrows 8 won't last another decade.
