Here’s a photograph [September 2011] of what I believe to be the site of the demolished Hargrove.

The Star was on Columbia Street, on the opposite side to the site of the Palace, nearer to West Hancock Street. In September 2011 it was the ‘Middle Georgia Cards, Coins and Comics’ shop.

I visited Savannah in September 2011, and I believe this cinema has been demolished.

In September 2011 the cinema was closed “temporarily for construction; reopening spring 2012”, according to the sign (see my photograph).

On a visit to New Braunfels in September 2011 I discovered this cinema has been demolished. However, rather bizarrely, the road side film advertising sign is still in situ! I photographed that, plus the area where the cinema stood.

On a visit to New Braunfels in September 2011 I couldn’t find any trace of this former cinema.

DavidSimpson commented about Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Downtown on Nov 26, 2011 at 9:05 pm

This cinema had closed by the time of my visit in September 2011. It’s now a bar called Ten Oak. Quentin Tarantino is great friends with Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League and the opening scene in the director’s film ‘Death Proof’ (2007) features this cinema. And the neon sign belonging to the bar in the film – “The Bone Shack” – hangs in the foyer of the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar, Austin.
