This was my family’s movie theater, It opened with one theater then it added another 250 seat theater to be a twin theater. My father died on Oct. 1st 1978 (49 years old) of a heart attack and we still ran the theater after his passing until 1979 when my mother sold it to Dick Fox of Fox Theaters, It was still a theater until the mid to late 1980’s when it was closed. The spot was a Blockbuster video store for some years, Now its a Planet Fitness.
