Are the theatres still intact here?
I show the address for the Dort Mall Cinems as 3750 South Dort Highway, Flint, Mi.
When I worked there in 1975 the address on our stationary, my business cards and the incoming mail was 3600……
Dave, you wouldn’t be any chance be the David that managed the Dort Mall Cinema in 1976 would you?
Yup, thats me. 8/75 thru 2/77 at Dort…. where did you get my name?
I met you when I was in Michigan doing reseach on theatres on my down time from flying. You were in the lobby talking to a young lady behind the concession counter. I covered a lot of theatres in those four weeks including a large number of old GCC houses. Any way the information that you gave me I wrote down and got your name at that time along with the 425 seating in each auditrorium, the long tall auditoriums after the conversion to the twin.
Seat counts were 425? I thought it was about 450, but if I told you 425 then , that’s what it was. It was a long time ago. I hated that theatre, badly proportioned, never should have been split, plus it was in a dead mall. I hated that town, too. What a sorry-ass place that was.
