I worked at this cinema when I was in high school in 1986-87, when it was a “dollar show.” Actually it cost $1.50. I worked box office, concessions, usher, janitor. I would climb out of the second floor office window onto the top of the marquee to change the movie titles. I remember sitting in the lobby while the movie ran, smoking cigarettes and doing my homework, fishing butts out of the sand ashtrays with a sieve. I had keys to the place and went in on Saturday mornings to mop the floor and count the inventory. The only movies I remember showing there were The Color of Money and Little Shop of Horrors. As I remember it, there was a parking lot just north of the building.
