Works start on Pooler Theater

Developers plan to have the 12-screen facility open by Thanksgiving.
The race is on in Pooler to see which of two proposed movie theaters will go up first. Actual construction began this week on Georgia Theatre Co.’s project, Pooler Stadium Cinemas 12 at Pooler Marketplace.
“We plan to open by Thanksgiving. Later expansion to 14 screens is in the design. We have purchased in excess of 9 acres adjacent to the new Publix in Pooler Marketplace,” said Aubrey Stone, president of Georgia Theater Co.
“Due to an increase in market demand, we have decided to open with a 12-screen theatre instead of the originally announced 10-screen complex,” Stone said. “We believe the Pooler area deserves to have what will be the largest movie theater in all of Coastal Georgia. We will have all of the latest Dolby stereo audio and Christie visual equipment with all digital projectors including multiple 3D auditoriums.”
As a major component of the new 36-acre Pooler Marketplace developed by Edens & Avant, Pooler Stadium Cinemas will join grocery anchor Publix and other national and local retailers in a center slated to open in November 2010.
“We’re very excited to collaborate with Georgia Theatre Company in bringing state-of-the-art cinemas to one of the fastest growing areas in Georgia,” said Lyle Darnall, managing director, Edens & Avant. “The cinemas, along with the variety of restaurants and retail mix we have planned at Pooler Marketplace, will offer a vibrant shopping and entertainment experience and a place for local residents to relax and spend time with their family and friends.”
The opening will be just in time for holiday blockbusters.
“We are currently having discussions with the major studios regarding their movies, including ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows,’ ‘Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader,’ ‘Tron: Legacy’ and ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ all available in 3D,” said Kip Smiley, vice president of film booking for Georgia Theatre. “Everyone is excited about this new Georgia Theatre location.”
The activity on the site indicates momentum is back in Pooler, said Mayor Mike Lamb.
“It really seems like things are picking up,” he said. “I’ve always said as soon as people are getting back to building, Pooler is the place to come. … When you look at target markets, Pooler is the bull’s eye.”
Developers of the 10-screen Royal Cinema in the Towne Center at Godley Station have already completed bowling alley Frames N Games. And they, too, plan to have their movie theater open by Thanksgiving.
“These are exciting times in Pooler,” Lamb said. “And there’s still plenty more to come.”

Drayton Hall tour
Jul 06, 2010One of the great things we enjoy about living in Savannah are the wonderful places to visit nearby. On Sunday, Lindy and I took advantage of the holiday to tour Drayton Hall, one of the finest remaining examples of Georgian architecture in the area and the entire country. Only a two hour drive from the Fairways at Savannah Quarters, the estate just outside of Charleston SC provides a glimpse into the past and the lifestyle in the lowcountry from nearly three hundred years ago. Owned by the Drayton family until the 1970s, the estate is now owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and has been preserved rather than restored. The difference is that the home is shown without furnishings and in a state much like it’s original condition. While the paint has faded and some damage from time remains, you get a true sense of what the plantation home was like rather a Disneyesque rendition. This is certainly a must see for American architecture fans and history buffs alike.
In addition to the Drayton Hall tour, we spent the rest of our 4th of July touring the historic district of Charleston, one of our favorite areas in the country. Looking for refreshment, we happened upon the fabulous patio of the restaurant 82 Queen, a great place to relax before resuming the tour. We strolled along the Battery with a cooling breeze off the harbor as the city prepared for the evening’s fireworks with the reminders of the depth of American history in the area with Fort Sumter and the USS Yorktown off in the distance.
As we’ve discovered in the time since we moved to the Lowcountry, Savannah is truly a wonderful base for all there is to experience in the Southeast.

Fairways and Villas at Savannah Quarters neighborhood cookout
Jun 29, 2010The Fairway’s and the Villa’s residents partied the evening away at the Fairway’s clubhouse on Saturday in advance of the 4th of July. It’s always good to begin a holiday weekend with a pre-party to get everyone in the mood and we started it off right. Over 40 residents from the two communities were able to meet and to make new friends and enjoy a wonderful array of foods prepared by the residents. There are some great cooks out there and we plan to have many more joint events in the future so they show their stuff. The social life at Savannah Quarters and Westbrook is off to a great start and we hope to continue to have events not only with the Villas but also with the other neighborhoods in Westbrook.
