Saturday morning matinees in the mid-1960’s were $1 for a 1930’s-style show with several cartoons, a serial (Flash Gordon, etc) and a feature…and parents enjoyed a few hours of babysitting.
Theatre was actually located on Maple Road and Alberta Drive in Amherst, NY, a Buffalo suburb.
Where within the mall was the Cinema located?
If it is where I think it was, it wasn’t attached to the mall, but across the street. Wegman’s supermarket is there now.
Basically correct – it shared the north end of that block on Maple with the Scotch & Sirloin Restaurant which, I believe, is still operating there today — great Alaskian King Crab !!
I had a great steak there 20 years ago. On Memorial Day S&S looked closed, but their website is still up. It could have just been the day, as other normally open restaurants were closed. I’m not often in that area, so I don’t know what their status is. 20 years ago? Now i feel old.
Good news Paul, the Scotch & Sirloin Restaurant is STILL in business — I just came back from Buffalo last week. However, the Boulevard Cinemas have yet to make a reappearance!
I saw the full parking lot of S & S about 2 weeks before. Didn’t drive past the nonexistent Boulevard, but did drive past the other nonexistent (now Red Robin restaurant) theater in the neighborhood. I don’t know why, but I miss the old GCC cinemas.
I think the one I am thinking of is University Cinemas.
The status of this cinema should also be changed to “Closed/Demolished” as it is long gone.
