Wow, here's an outstanding film about Joe Patten who restored the organ at the Fox, spearheaded the Save the Fox movement and caught the kitchen fire that could have been disastrous a decade ago. He lives in the building

A new limited edition book is out on the Fox. Lots of great photos including a bunch taken during the renovation

The Fox Theatre: The Memory Book



I saw copies at the Border's in Brookwood. Looks good
