inside it was very similar to the Cooper at least in the way they laid out the seats. I don’t know when it closed,but I saw Star Trek the motion picture and Revenge of the Jedi.

From what I saw in the videos both theaters seemed to be in nice shape. But they need to empty out the crap on the Majestic’s main floor.

there is an excellent urban exploration video of this building and walk-through of both auditoriums. it was posted last month.there is no mention of the location in the video however i recognized it from the various pictures that i have seen and i’m sure that there are very few large double auditorium theaters in the u.s. it is worth checking out. that place still seems to be in very nice shape!!

you don’t realize how big this place is until you see it without the tarp that seperates the ground floor .

This place seems huge after seeing the drone footage.It seems to me it would be a prime for restoration as a Broadway venue or concert.

I saw both The Shining and Altered States here. While it was one auditorium, it was among the best movie going experiences that I had. I say among because I saw a re-release of Oklahoma at our Cooper Theatre in mn

The Kohl’s is new. They flattened the theater before building the Kohl’s.I saw a picture in the paper. Can anyone tell me why this theater bears a resemblance to the Cooper theater?

I saw the first Superman and Empire Strikes Back here. This theater, looked like it was architecturally related to the Cooper theaters.They seemed to have similar lay outs. What is the deal with abc were they connected in any way to the network?
