Grab your popcorn for a stroll down cinema lane. The newly-restored Carolina Theatre is reclaiming its “lost years” for 13 weeks this summer, by showing classics like “E.T.” and “Ghostbusters” on the big screen beginning Sunday, June 8.
Since closing in 1978, the historic theater missed out on blockbuster films. Now, it’s presenting movies from 1979-1990, years that movies never graced the landmark’s screen.
