Liberty Hall, the knots in my stomach became even tighter.
I was terrified enough about my date even before the date started. And when my date said he wanted to go see a movie at
The night started with me attempting to enter the Hall through the wrong doors. I was embarrassed and confused when the people on the other side of the door were pointing to the correct entrance. I guess my nerves got to me and common sense to look at the sign posted on the front of the doors went out the window.
editor's note
I had never been to Liberty Hall before, and I'm not a big fan of going to new places in already-tense situations.
The box office caught my attention next. It wasn't marred with the usual sterile-looking black on black at every corner and neatly placed little movie logos adorned with white movie times in san serif font. It was just a guy, without the typical brightly colored long-sleeved shirt and black pants of most theater employees, standing in the box office that was littered with random cut outs of photos with strategically placed mouth bubbles. The whole look created a warm feeling that is usually lost in the chilly environment of mega- and multiplexes.
When the employee handed us our tickets and said it was in the Little Theater, I confusingly looked at my date, expecting to be told a theater number. He led the way to the ironically massive stairs to the Little Theater. I have always wondered if there's some story behind the size of these stairs and what exactly they are made of.
On the way up the stairs, my date told me about the how the ceiling of the theater looks like a starry night sky. It lived up to my expectations. As I was fascinated with what was above me, nature called below me. I asked my date where the restroom was, and he did his best to explain simply where it was.
Let's just say I got lost—on the way there and the way back. But I came across some interesting nooks and crannies of the architecture during the journey.
I've seen many more movies since my first visit about two years ago. I'm not sure if it's the extra legroom or the architecture that keeps me coming back, but I enjoy being a witness to living history.
Check out Elliot's story on page 10 for stories about the history of Liberty Hall and how the architecture came to be.
