Quick Snaps: Flashback to 409 Colorado

While I'm out of town, I didn't want to leave Slackerwood completely abandoned. I decided to pick one of my most popular photos from Flickr and post it ... and when I saw this photo, I realized it is four years this month since the original Alamo Drafthouse on Colorado closed down.

I miss it, in the same way you miss that first apartment straight out of college with the bad A/C and the roaches that fell out of the ceiling and the radiator that almost caught fire. It wasn't the fanciest movie theater, but I saw a whole lot of good films there.

If you are also feeling full of nostalgia for 409 Colorado back in its glory days, check out our Alamo Downtown Blog-a-Thon from June 2007 and take a trip down Memory Lane.
