Man…another blast from the past. I grew up in Frenchtown and my parents and I — like a lot of other folks in town — used to love walking up to the theater for a movie. My parents took me to my very first movie theater experience at The Barn actually; the movie was Rocky IV and, even though I was 3yrs old, I still have incredibly vivid memories of that night!
Other movies I remember seeing there: Bambi, Song of the South, Beetlejuice, The Naked Gun, and Ghostbusters II. I’ll never forget the general backlash that resulted when it was sold and threatened to be turned into a Country & Western dance hall…thank God the building still stands today though!
Wow … I used to work at Cinema Plaza from 1998 until 2000. Like many employees, I also went there quite a bit as a customer before eventually working there. What a great time we all had there…so many wonderful (and hilarious) memories. I’m really bummed to see the entire building gone, as that area just doesn’t look the same to me anymore when I’m in town visiting.
