Tower: A True Sacramento Icon

’500 Days of Summer’ is only playing one place in the Greater Sacramento area: Tower Theatre. Although my boyfriend and I had to make the trek in from Woodland, the movie proved to be worth it. And the theatre herself? She’s always worth it.

The Tower has a long and glitzy history, and today it retains much of its old world charm with a more modern laid back attitude. But since we were running a little late, I didn’t have as much time as usual to admire her interiors. What I did notice, however, is that I was more comfortable in my chair than I’ve been in a movie theatre chair for a long time. Coming from a girl who gets pretty ancy after an hour and a half, that’s saying a lot.

If you love old theatres, definitely visit this one soon. We lost the Alhambra a long time ago… and no one around here has forgotten the loss. http://savethetowertheatre.org/
