ATLANTA – A Time Capsule Unearthed at the Plaza Theatre
Hidden behind a crumbled wall in the bathroom of the Plaza Theatre, contractors discovered a time capsule frozen in time. Among the treasures found were a raffle ticket to win a new 1959 Chevrolet, credit cards with no magnetic strip, and family photos in black and white. These items had been tucked away for decades, untouched and forgotten.
Plaza Theatre owner Chris Escobar was determined to return the wallet and its contents to the family it belonged to. He described the discovery as a “portal back in time,” and felt a deep sense of responsibility to find the rightful owners.
Escobar and his wife, Nicole, embarked on a journey to track down the owner of the wallet. After much research, they were able to locate the family of Floy Culbreth, the owner of the wallet. The discovery led them to Thea Chamberlain, Culbreth’s daughter, who was overjoyed to be reunited with her mother’s long-lost belongings.
The wallet was filled with history, providing a glimpse into Culbreth’s life and the memories she cherished. Chamberlain found some of her own belongings in the wallet, evoking a flood of memories and bringing her mother back to life in a way.
In November, the Culbreth family gathered at the Plaza Theatre to retrieve the wallet and commemorate their family history. Several generations of Culbreths were present, including grandchildren who marveled at the trinkets and treasures found in the wallet.
This heartwarming reunion served as a reminder of the enduring power of family history and the significance of preserving cherished memories.
Agree with good grammar and punctuation: Incredible how a single wallet can unlock a treasure trove of family history after all these years! The power of rediscovering our roots is truly remarkable.
