Matt54 above is correct…the theater was never in a shopping mall. When I saw that pic at the top of the page of the theater lobby, it really jogged my memory of being there in the 1970’s…wow, long time ago.

As I recall, I saw the Bond flick ‘Live and Let Die’ at the UA-Cine in the summer of 1973 with my then girlfriend. I do remember it was a nice theater.

I worked at Northpark I&II part-time while in high school in the early 1970’s, working mostly evenings and weekends. Looking back, I really enjoyed my time there, even though the wages were a bit lacking, shall we say. I remember one of the biggest movies we had was ‘What’s Up Doc’, the Barbra Streisand-Ryan O'Neal classic, in the spring of 1972….it ran for around 6 months, and was still drawing good crowds even at the end. I worked at the theater for around 2 years, made some good friends there, and always looked forward to going to work. I was truly saddened to see the place close down in 1998. It kind of felt like part of my youth had been taken from me…..PR
