If you go due NW from the red marker pin on the map above, there is an open field divided into 8 rectangles. You can still make out the fanned out rows, and the building in the center of the field is in the same exact spot at the old projection booth, and I would assume snack bar. Likely it’s the same building.
April 1995 view shows it to be on it’s way to being a cemetery already.
