The Skywalk Cinemas were located on Vine Street in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, a short walk from another beloved theatre, the Place (Real Movies Repertory Theatre). They were best known as the longtime home for weekend midnight screenings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

The theatre, along with all other buildings at this corner, were torn down for the Fountain Square West building project. A Lazarus department store building is on the property now.

I'm sorry, the theatre I was referring to as a neighbor of the Skywalk was the Place, not the Palace. Could a moderator correct this for me?

It was the Place, not the Palace. Speaking of the Skywalk, it is still a haven for crime since all the great theatres and restaurants closed down. The thugs "own" the skywalk and most of the downtown blocks. People stay away from downtown Cincinnati in droves due to the crime.

The Skywalk 2 opened in 1973 and closed in 1990.

I found an article in the October 15, 1972 issue of Box Office magazine heralding the opening of the Skywalk Cinema. It includes an architectural drawing and interior and exterior photos. If anyone is interested in seeing this article drop me a line.

On AUGUST 9 1974 the SKYWALK 1 and 2 cinemas was playing "THE STING" and "THE GREAT GATSBY" both starring Robert Redford.and rated Pg. There was a sneak preview that night in the theatre that played "THE STING" starring Liv Ullman and Peter Finch. These theatres were MID STATE CINEMAS. It amazes me how many Cincinnati theatre ARE NOT LISTED ON CT. isn't there anyone from Ohio that can get these theatres on.
