I remember me and my friends sneaking in to see jaws in the early 70’s it was one of the scariest movies I have seen to date the original movie signpost is being used by the Lowes hardware store that is there now
I grew up next to the theater as well. Me and my friends spent many happy weekends going to see Star Wars Mel Brooks movies Charlie Brown and of course Live and Let Die and the Poseidon Adventure. I remember when you walked in we would purchase a ticket at the immediate right I remember the manager being thin with a moustache and he said in the office directly behind ticket counter we would buy a popcorn take a drink from the water fountain in the corner before settling into a theater it was a one screen Movie house. I was sad to see it turned into an x ray theater. I do remember someone trying to reopen it having problems with parking which was very sad because now its its abandoned and in total disarray. I looked in on it yesterday and it looks like a lawn is growing inside the building it’s in terrible shape. Another theater with so many memories
Sad but true the cinema is being torn down. The inside was damaged by the fire from Woolworths but mostly by vandalism I wished the town of Berlin would have archived it in pictures etc because the theater meant so much to so many over the years I’ve taken some pictures I just need to figure out how to get them on here. A sad day for those that grew up attending the $0.99 theater
