The marquee of the Loyola theatre can be seen in this Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial from 1980.

I was in Mishawaka today, and it appears that they’re building a condo complex or apartment building of some sort.

Unfortunately, it looks like the end may be near at last.

abbyworld commented about Lincoln Village 1-6 on Feb 13, 2004 at 10:33 am

The Lincoln Village 7-9 Theatres were indeed torn down (approximately 2 years ago), and the Borders was indeed built on the site (and is now open for business) as part of the renovation of the Lincoln Village shopping center (a small outdoor mall).

I went to the LV7-9 a lot, and I must admit, it wasn’t in great shape towards the end. The two smaller theatres, which appeared to be carved out of a balcony, had screens that were set at odd angles- one side of the screen was closer to the audience than the other.

As of yesterday, July 3, the Biograph has reopened as a first-run theatre. It’s being run by the Village Entertainment mini-chain.
