Great memories but some of you are a bit hazy in your recollections.
It was not torn down in the 1970’s, it was actually turned into a TWIN CINEMA during the late 70’s / early 80’s and was called NORWALK TWIN CINEMA for many years. It survived until the late 80’s when it was finally torn down and made into a shopping center.

It was never an adult movie theatre. It was a cheap Twin Cinema and even had a small arcade inside. I remember playing Xevious in there and seeing Rambo on the big screen.

During the 80’s it was owned by a Korean or Chinese family. I remember calling their automated film line and it would tell me the showtimes with a chinese dialect/accent. This was during the Rambo: First Blood era.

The funny thing is, the person who mentioned 1941 playing with Love at First Bite is funny because I actually remember seeing that double feature there too. Other movies I remember seeing there include: Grease 2, My Bloody Valentine, Friday the 13th, Madman and a bunch of other cheezy slasher flicks.
