Hi Dena,

A Drive-In still exists somewhere in America?? When I was a kid my mom would take us all to the drive-in at least once a month. I remember it like it was yesterday. When my brother got old enough to drive us without mama, we went to the drive-in and saw a marathon of all the Planet of the Apes movies! It lasted all night!! So, cool..... Now, where are the good places to eat? Where's a good breakfast place? I've vowed to only frequent local establishments whiile I'm there. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with the people there. Definitely want to see the Henn Theatre. How did it catch fire?

Good morning, Donna.

There are lots of good places to eat in Murphy. I don't eat out very often, but I really enjoy eating lunch or dinner at ShoeBooties Cafe, located on Peachtree Street right in downtown Murphy.

It is owned by George and Muffy Kerber, and I have enjoyed quite a few excellent meals there over the years.

Muffy Kerber is a member of Murphy Connections.

If I'm on the run, my breakfast generally consists of a large coffee, so I'm not the one to recommend somewhere to eat breakfast.

I'm not sure about how the Henn Theatre caught fire, but I think they either suspect or know that some kids/teenagers were smoking on the roof. I'm not sure about that, though.

I did a little searching and found this on the Cinema Treasures website:

Yes, unfortunately it's true. Some kids got into my fan house on top of the building and either intentionally or negligently set the fire, which burned a hole through the floor, dropped to the stage, and ignited the stage. It burned most of the stage, the screen, the curtains around the screen and some of the speakers. The smoke did the most damage. We are having to pull out all of the curtains, the carpets, the ceilings and much of the other things in the theater. We are trying to clean the seats. Luckily, I did have insurance, so they are working to get it repaired as quickly as possible.

It was posted by Bill Grove, who is also a member of Murphy Connections.

I hope others will chime in with good places to eat.

All the best,

JD

Dena, Where is the Swan Drive-In?  I love Drive-ins.  I have been to Blue Ridge a few times and have missed the Drive-in.  I love double features! Connie Lauer

Must stop at Mountain Spirit Essentials 35 Tennessee Street Downtown across from Henn theatre. The best massage anywhere!
