OLD SCHOOL FUN
Put down the $10 soda and make the trip to Carnegie, Ok for your next movie night. The Liberty is the oldest theater in Oklahoma and it's still SRO on Saturday nights. Vintage restoration has kept this place vibrant and welcoming to those that grace the doors. Some people we met were coming in just to grab a "show dog" and go home. The joint is known for its concession stand. Tickets are $4...each. Yup. 4 bucks. Our group had 6 hotdogs, 2 medium popcorns, 2 medium sodas and some M &Ms...$21. Yes, I said $21. It's more than that just to get in the door at most movie houses these days. Load up the kids. Take your significant other. Great first date place. Break the routine. All of the above are great reasons to make this a spot on your road map. Btw...ask for onions on your show dog ?

A Trip Back in TIme
Even on vacation, I make time for the movies. I am the very definition of a cinephile. On this trip, I stopped by a couple of theatres, but one of them was pretty special. My cousin and I have a yearly tradition of seeing a movie together over the holiday break. This year, we ventured to the Liberty Theatre in Carnegie, Oklahoma. It is the state’s oldest continuously operated movie theatre. Home to three screens and out of this world prices, we were in for a real treat. $4 movie tickets? Concessions for two at $10? You better believe it. Of course, the theatre is beginning to show her age, but it felt great to step back in time for the pure love of cinema. As we walked away from the theatre, I thought of those who built it and those who first sat in her seats. I thought about how proud they must have been for their little jewel tucked away in one of Oklahoma’s small towns.
