The opportunity popped up to tag along on a full-day exploring effort in the old Odeon in the busy city centre of Glesgae toon. Was mega excited about this one after passing it so many times and knowing it was on peoples' wish lists! :D Just getting 'round to sharing it now, after 5 months.

This cinema first opened on New Year's Eve in 1934 as the Paramount Theatre. Odeon bought it over in 1939, destroyed most of the original decor to make it more like a modern cinema and it finally closed on the 7th January 2006. The Beatles even played here in 1963!

Unfortunately, every single seat in every screen room had been removed but the place is still incredible. A mask would have been a good shout; I could still feel the fungi in my throat the following day.
