Given your taste for Starbucks instead of A&P, I’m not sure you’d get enough for one cup a day….maybe one every 2.3879 days! And the answer to your question is “Yes”. Contact me sometime ().

Thanks, Bob! (best supervisor I ever had, folks)

Is AMC paying out on GCC pensions? I figured some day I’d get enough to buy a cup of coffee each month.

Hope you are well!

Theatre is now owned by the Arlington Independent School District and is a learning center of some sort.

A minor correction…I’m pretty darn sure the refreshment stand is/was directly behind the box office, in the center of the lobby…not to the left. Behind the refreshment stand is a hallway connecting the two wings of the V shape. The restrooms were centered behind the refreshment stand.

If this property is empty and available for lease, it could make a good dollar cinema or art house. I imagine the entire facility is still in pretty good repair.

General Cinema’s Arlington Park Square 8 opened January 12, 1985, welcomed by several inches of snowfall! It was one of the first Cambridge Seven Associates architectural designs. It was also a one-of-a-kind floorplan, because GCC was reportedly sued for using a floorplan too similar to a copyrighted blueprint. The lobby and auditorium halls were in a V shape, allowing a manager to stand at the front doors near the box office, and be able to view all auditorium entrances, concession stand, and box office activity.
