I saw Return of the Jedi there when I was a kid and it was still a first run theatre.
Throughout the 90’s it became famous for its $1.95 tickets and $3.0 bottomless bucket of popcorn. Also famous for uncomfortable seats and sticky floors! By then it was a 4 screen theatre, but would often have more then 4 movies showing by staggering the times.
In the late 90’s it raised its evening prices to $2.95 to attempt to compete and stay open.
I remember Space Cowboys was one of the movies on the marquee (which was a sign they hung in the window) when the theatre closed, so it lasted until the year 2000. One of the last great cheapie theatres and the site for many of my high school dates in the 90’s.
