I was an manager there around 1976. The theater had been playing X rated films for several years and had fallen into disrepair. I was transfered from the nearby Crossroads Twin to get the place open as a dollar theater. It is a Winn-Dixie now.

This was the first theatre built in St. Petersburg in 35 years according to the newspaper, the Evening Independent. The opening attraction was James Garner & Dick Van Dyke in “The Art of Love”.
