August is the month that the landmark neighborhood theatre, The Castro Theatre, celebrates 90 years in business.
The Castro has served three generations of my family. Mom and grandma lived two blocks up on 17th and Diamond streets in the 1950's, and attended with some frequency. My first visit was in 1986, when I took in an afternoon matinee of Blood Simple and Blue Velvet.
Still owned and operated by the same family since it opened in 1922, the Nassar Family, I can't imagine San Francisco without it.

Congrats, Castro Theatre. Here's to another 90 years.
