Per Life’s Too Short comment, the Plaza was okay when it was new, though certainly of no aesthetic merit, but it did get rundown very quickly. It really wasn’t needed, due to the Lincoln Village being right across the street. When I went to see “The Lost Boys” there, I was on a date and we were the only two people in that particular auditorium (and the movie had started already by the time we arrived!).
I am almost certain that the Plaza operated into the 90’s. What a dump…it very well might be the worst theater ever built in Chicago. I know that Cineplex Odeon was the last to run the Plaza, and it was Cineplex (not Plitt) that built the new Lincoln Village Cinemas across the street. The K-Mart went out when K-Mart went through bankruptcy recently. The newer Lincon Village Cinemas are now the only theater left at that corner.
Did I mention that the Plaza was a dump?
