When I’m at work one of the guests is me because my password isn’t saved on that computer and I have no idea what it is.

Despite it’s status as a historic theatre the auditorium was demolished in 2003 after damage from heavy snow caused the roof to collapse. The lobby building and marquee still remain.

This is the 3-screen Liberty Theatre. I did not know it had closed again? When did that happen?

This is still the Salvation Army store. Walking in you can tell where the former balcony is. How much of the balcony is intact, though, I am unsure of because I did not go upstairs.

Roger Katz commented about Cameo Theatre on Oct 12, 2005 at 4:44 am

The Cameo is not demolished. A video store is in the space where it’s lobby used to be. i’m not sure what occupies the space that Sears took over.

It was also known as the Royal Theatre.

It isn’t too “historic.” It’s a typical, ugly shopping plaza cinema.
