One of the ideas that I've been mulling over for a long time now is setting up a periodic series of interviews with folks from the neighborhood. The idea is relatively simple - pick folks from the neighborhood who are doing something interesting in/around/with/about Columbia City, send them some questions in email, and post their responses to this blog.
I figure this is one of the easiest ways to get a little more insight into some of the great personalities and projects that are happening right here in our neighborhood, and maybe get to know some of our neighbors at the same time.
So, with a gracious acceptance, Paul Doyle, owner, proprietor, and chief cheerleader from Columbia City Cinema has agreed to be my first interview!
I want to make sure I get any input from you as well though, so here's how I'm thinking this will work:
- If you have a question you want to ask Paul, leave a comment on this post with that question, or send me some email directly.
- I'll leave this post up and online until Monday, May 19th - just over a week.
- I'll then look through the comments, and gather up enough questions to send Paul the best 10.
- When Paul manages to write back, I'll post them online here!
So, if you could ask Paul Doyle, the man who brought cinema to Columbia City, who setup an innovative Columbia City Cinema Friends program, who is planning on expanding to three screens, who picks the winners to show at the cinema himself - if you could ask Paul Doyle anything, what would it be?

SWEET! Paul is an awesome subject to kick off your series. Can't wait. Will have to think of some questions for our favorite neighborhood movie man...
Paul: What eventually happened to the lacy, black item that was found in the back row of the theater?

I love the theater, but why does it always show new releases? Why not (at least, say, during the week) schedule a Hitchcock retrospective, or a Cameron Crowe retrospective, or anything? I'd go more often if there were more movies I'd like to see. As it is, if the theater shows, say, Speed Racer for a week, that's a week I'm guaranteed not to go.
Hi! I think I'm too late to get this in but I'm going to try anyway.
I'm a larger gal, most cinima seats are too narrow for my bum so I have never gone to the CC Cinima.
Do the seats have arms? Do they go up? Are their sections of the Cinima that have seats with no arms?
This is my burning question and thanks!
Our family is moving in Aug. 8 to the Columbia City area! We're from out of state. We love the Rainier Ave. area around Hudson and 39th and look forward to living there!
We loove the cinema! We saw Wall-E the other day and had a great time. What is the upstairs lounge area for? i liked it!
