This small town theatre was located on First Street just north of Linden in downtown Abbotsford. It was open on weekends playing first run attractions
Sadly it was destroyed in a tragic fire on March 4, 2012.

I was looking for another theatre and came across the Abby, noticed LM’s comments. I will say that CT sure misses Lost Memory and his great research on the theatres. To lose such a member is a great loss to the site.
I think this theater can be marked down as closed and demolished. A fire swept through it today injuring fire fighters when the roof collapsed. Here is the link to the story http://www.waow.com/story/17075826/crews-battle-blaze-at-abbotsford-theater
Lamentably, one of the injured fire fighters has died as a result of the blaze.
