For years, the Parkway Theater had the best sound and screen. You would hope the movie you really wanted to see would opened there first.

I was the chief projectionist at the Parkway from 10/79 to 2/88. The sound system was updated with a Dolby CP100 and BGW amps for Star Trek The Motion Picture. 70mm showings included Empire, Jedi, Quest For Fire, Brainstorm to name a few. It was a great theater to work at with a wonderful staff.

This theatre was one of three built on a similar floor plan in the middle to late 60’s by ABC TriStates Theatres. (The other two were the Plazas in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. They were designed by Henry George Greene of ABC Theatres.) All three theatres featured rocking chair seating, large screens complete with drapes, and 70mm projection. Due to their basic floor plan, they were extremely efficient theatres to operate. I managed each of these theatres either as manager or as vacation relief manager.
