The Caching in the NorthWest podcast started on April 4th, 2010, with Chris Of The NorthWest and witzend. Originally the podcast started as a monthly show. After 20 episodes, the format of the podcast changed to a weekly live recorded show with the addition of LANMonkey.
Now we are at 500 episodes, something we never conceived 13 years ago. Be a part of NorthWest history with a rare live podcast recording!
The Blue Mouse Theatre (https://bluemousetheatre.com/) opened on a Tuesday evening, November 13, 1923. John Hamrick’s Blue Mouse Theatre had its Grand Opening on Proctor Street. It was named after a lounge in Paris, France, which showed the latest rage, ‘flicks’. In 1993 a small group of activists and preservationists joined together to purchase and restore the property.
Under layers of paint, wood veneer and glass tiles put on in the ‘30s and ‘40s they discovered the original Craftsman-style timbering, stucco, brick pillars, globe light sconces, polished marble terrazzo and original mahogany doors. The same was the case with interior renovation. The theater’s original architectural charm was rediscovered in craftsmen staircases, chandelier surround, an ornate trellis around the proscenium arch, decorated capitals atop side wall columns and Tiffany-style glass exit signs.
