The McDonald’s opened in the fall of 1973 when I was in the eighth grade. We had lunch breaks from school then for about an hour and remember going there on opening day from #3 School. Looking back, what a travesty that was to replace such a beautiful theater with garbage like McDonald’s. Whoever says it was 1975 is dead wrong,it closed when I was 12, remember very well.
The DeWitt showed it’s final movie “The Concert For Bangladesh” with another earlier Rock Movie called “Popcorn” in the late summer of 1972. It would then host three days of concerts, among the acts The Chambers Bros. right after this last film. After that, its doors closed for good. Demolition began in early 1973.
