Phantom of the Fox

This will mostly be of interest to those local to Atlanta. Did you know that somebody actually lives at the Fox Theater?
Joe Patten sees a side of the Fox Theatre no one else sees — even longtime employees — because for the past 26 years, it has been his home.

Whenever he wants to watch a show, he opens a door in his bedroom, walks through a secret passageway and up 30 steps to his private "box" in the balcony — a former spotlight platform almost within touching distance of the Fox's famous deep blue ceiling with its tiny twinkling-star lights.
Neat read.
