Here is a 2009 photo.
This is a photo of the Arcade Theater.
In late 1973 when I moved to Fort Myers (had my first job out of college there) the Arcade was still a first run theatre. I recall seeing some of the disaster movies of the era there…Towering Inferno among them, I believe. I also talked my girlfriend (now my wife) into going to a midnight showing of Night of the Living Dead there. That was an experience! It was a cool old theatre and I’m happy to see that it survives.
A Robert-Morton theater organ was installed in the Arcade Theater in 1927.
