Inglewood Theater

I remember seeing Woodstock at the Inglewood, I was the only person in the whole audience til near the end. Many movies I remember there, ghost and mr. chicken too…ha. Ah, the cry room, I remember that and went in once just to see what it was like. Very strange indeed. Also I recall the owner of Joywood Salvage told me that the doors were solid brass, very classy. Sad it is gone like so many others. We had it made and didn’t realize it.

There is a photo of this theatre on Tennessee Cinemas link,showing the theatre just before opening in 1950.

My grandmother and I were the last patrons of the Inglewood Theatre in 1977. I remember it was cold and drizzling that day. The last movie to play at Inglewood Theatre playing was Poco (Little Lost Dog). I was 10 and was hooked on Benji and Herbie Love Bug movies, Poco was sort of a Benji rip off. When we walked in we noticed it was completely empty. The manager told us they were closing forever that day and this was the last movie. I will always remember walking out with the manager locking the door behind us thinking I was the last customer. I’ll always remember spending every weekend with my grandparents and going to that old theatre.

I believe after the theatre shutdown it became a Joywood Furniture store and then a junk store until they tore it down.
