Lifestyle center is just a fancy name for an open-air mall, built to look like it’s an organically developed downtown. The idea is to bring back areas with a retail/residential mix, although I’m not sure if the development at Westgate has a residential component.

The mall closed earlier this year, and is now being demolished. I don’t know what, if anything, this means for the freestanding cinemas.

Westgate Mall is now in the process of being demolished. The plan is to build a new “lifestyle center” on the land.

It is $2, but the movies are second run.

One small correction. This site was never occupied by a Dunham’s. The Dunham’s was next to the theater, and in fact closed before the theater did. As for the Dick’s, it first opened on Great Northern Boulevard around 1999, in a former Giant-Eagle (which itself was a former Rini-Rego), and moved to a site in Great Northern Mall earlier this year. It never occupied the theater space. Toby is correct in that the space is now a K&G.

I believe this building is being used as a church now. It has a strange name, The International House of God, or something along those lines. I’m almost certain it’s the same theater. Can anyone else confirm this?
