RMP East Ridge 18

For years this site was occupied by a six screen facility which with its 1970’s era design looked more like a huge concrete blockhouse than a movie theatre. It shut down during the great wave of theatre bankruptcies during the late 90’s. For a long time the marquee stated that the theatre would “Reopen in March” but I do not think it ever did. A couple of years ago Rave demolished the existing structure and built their trademark spaceship style 18 screen facility on the same footprint previously occupied by the old 6 screener.

The old theatre looked dark and depressing and seldom did I see many cars parked in front. Now the site is lit up like a Vegas casino and the parking lot is usually packed.
