"I am lucky indeed. A 10 year old kid watching Moonraker was really cool! I also watched that and most other Bond films at an Army Post Theatre, in my case at Walter Reed Hospital/Forest Glen and paid about 25 cents and about 75 cents at the most by the mid 70's..."

I moved into that area about 1965, my folks bought a home on Kensington Pkwy. about 1/4 mile north of Beach Dr. My buds and I used to ride our Stingrays and such from there to the theater at Walter Reed. And yes, you could see full-length motion pictures for 25 cents back then. AMn, those were the daze!!

I wonder if you also remember the infamous "Surrender Dorothy" that was painted on the overpass connecting Walter Reed with Silver Spring at 495 as you came down 495 from Georgia Ave. - with the Mormon Temple as the backdrop???
