CULVER'S: The End of an Era

In 2004 a fire burnt Culver's Entertainment to the ground.

This is a tribute to a place I spent a lot of time at while growing up in a small town named Colstrip in Southeastern Montana. Where everyone would meet while renting a movie, getting a coffee, food, playing pool, or eating their delicious popcorn.

This video features actual footage from the night the fire burned, along with the aftermath. Also I have the pencil sketch that Penny Lyon did in memoriam.

That's unfortunate. I don't know if I remember culver's.  Was it there in the mid 80's?
