Al…What does Miami have to do with Albuquerque or San Juan? At any rate, yes, Miami had 3-strip Cinerama presentations (at the FLORIDA, ROOSEVELT and SHERIDAN). I plan to feature Miami in this series sometime in the future.
Were you misled into thinking this series had concluded because I mentioned Albuquerque being the last 3-strip market and/or because JSA used the past tense when giving his opinion on the series?
JSA…you have a point since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. I wasn’t thinking of it in those terms, though, since the film industry generally considers Puerto Rico an international market.
Regarding the trivia, the Teatro Cinerama in San Juan, Puerto Rico may have been the last 3-strip installation in US soil. If I remember correctly, this happened sometime in 1965.
I’ve said it before, and will say it again: this has been a truly great series!
That was exactly what I thought, Michael. Thanks for clearing that up.

Does this mean Miami never had three-strip?
