This was a theater that use to do plays in the 50s, it was sold in 1984, and the new owner turned it into a foreign film, and independent film theater, if you wanted to show your fan made film you could do it here
Tickets were a dollar… and they stayed a dollar until power rangers turbo came out, then he went to 2 dollars..
Anyway.. it was one single theater, we would ride our bikes there chain them up in the back and go watch a movie for a buck..
Couldn’t beat it.. he would then buy the movies that left the local theaters, so you could see the movie before it came out on vhs (which took a wicked long time back then, pretty she it was almost a year before Jurassic park was on vhs) you could see the flick a few times a week for a buck before it was out on vhs it was great
The theater was always packed I don’t ever remember it not being packed.. saw episode 1 there when it left the theater and he got a copy…
A bunch of great times there.. he closed down.. then his kid reopened it.. there was a huge bed bugs out break and they never recovered.. the apartments above the theater were disgusting.. it was a real dump..
The place is destroyed now, ceiling fell in from leaking pipes from the apartments..
New owner bought it, he gutted the whole place, the store front the apartments the theater.. think his plan is to have plays there..
Idk just is cool place I use to hang
