The AMC Northwest Cinema opened May 20, 1986 with four screens active playing “Sweet Liberty,” “Short Circuit” and “Top Gun” on two screens. It closed September 6, 1999.

There were two of these theatres in the metro with the other one being at 240 and shields. They did have glass block construction with neon lamps inside of them. At night the illumination was really rad. Inside it featured a futuristic polished metal interior like that of a space port. It was mostly discounted movies. What took both of these places down were gang bangers. Both in the parking lot and in the theatres. They didn’t seem to care or address that problem because Tinsletown built in one of the most gang infested areas of the entire USA and they do huge numbers on weekends and holidays. But Tinsletown has kept its security levels up the entire time and these theatres never did.

When this was a cinema didn’t the building have a massive glassblock and neon tower?

The building is now a training center for Express Personnel Services.
