stormdogThe Liberty Theatre in Murphysboro, Illinois is one of the more difficult-to-photograph theaters I've visited. The jet black and pure white vitrolite of the facade are really difficult to expose properly in a single photograph. The shininess from the rain may not have been helping either.
The theatre is a gorgeous example of a small-town movie house; it was a pleasure to make her acquaintance!
Originally opened in 1913, the Liberty now functions as a community center and performing arts venue!

Look at this cursive font neon sign. How cool is that?
