I'm going to be at the Rialto cleaning in the morning. Ya'll come on by if you get a minute.
Hey you guys! We're going to have a work day this Saturday at 11:00 AM. Bring a broom and mop and help us clean up he Rialto.
John, I forgot to mention how lucky you are to be considered for an ITC pay raise from Abe. He gave me a 100% raise once. Maybe if you lean on him a bit he'll give you one too.
John Suhr is one of those rare souls who "keeps coming back like a song" and a cool and nostalgic sip of rare wine. Ronnie and I have been familiar with John's refreshing talent and personality for many years and look forward to enjoying many more.…
And I humbly thank you John, Abe and Sandra for the kindness. With the recent succession of events, Abe, the raise is welcomed! These "Ecom-o-nickel" times and the march of time weigh heavily on our well-being but I have been blessed with the friend…
I totally agree with you Sir!
In my freshman year at Hardaway High, a TV commercial was running showing a Barrington ford talking Fiat. A large pair of lips were superimposed over the grill of a car and a goofy character was asking the car to say a "Big word like ecomonickle." I…

The Royal opened in 1927 with 2700 seats. When it was remodeled and became the Three Arts seating was reduced to 1800 and the facade facing Talbotton Road was removed. It was demolished in 2007 to make way for the new Health Department building. It'…
The Georgia Independence Day Festival was a great success! We had over 12,000 people through the gates. Wish you'd have been there!
I don't know the date on this photo but Wynton was a dirt road.
By the way, I'm hoping to organize a GidFest in Columbus next year. I've been talking with Columbus Parks & Rec. So, Get your colonial costumes ready!
If you haven't made plans already, you're invited to the Georgia Independence Day Festival we hold in memory of my late wife. I'd love to see you there.

John Suhr, A Columbus institution
In my freshman year at Hardaway High, a TV commercial was running showing a Barrington ford talking Fiat. A large pair of lips were superimposed over the grill of a car and a goofy character was asking the car to say a "Big word like ecomonickle." In history class my teacher got tongue tied and Lennord Ellerby asked her to say a big word like "ecomonickel." He had to stay in after school! This and so many TV commercials came from the genius of John Suhr. I have known John and Beverly Suhr since… Continue

Rialto Report for 02/27/09
Today Reynolds Bickerstaff, the Rialto's owner, and I set to work tearing out the floor in front of the screen. This is where the roof had leaked for years and the ceiling and the floor are ruined. The floor is rotted in a spot as wide as the building and about 12' deep. It was quick work with crowbars to take out the rotted floor. Twice I fell through the floor to the dirt about 18" below. The main timbers seem to be in reasonable shape but most of floor joist crumbled. In less than 45 minutes… Continue

Ronnie Martin said… - Hello John, I don't know if you remember me but my dad was Hubert Martin (the one with the wooden leg) You and I shared shifts at the old Liberty Theatre years ago. I worked the drive-ins mostly and spent many a night at the Edgewood Drive-In with you and your dad. I always worked Harold Bishop's day off. I would love to chat with you sometime. I am still at the biz, 2 of my sons are working with me and we travel the USA installing and maintaining motion picture as well as D-Cinema equipment. I have been servicing and installing for 38 years, a long time. Hope to hear from you soon.
