Sorry JAlex, you are mistaken. The CVS is located where the 905 store once stood, later replaced by a Western Auto. Pollo Loco is where the McDonald’s was once located. Then the outlot where Macaroni Grill was located.

I have been reminded that Terri Schwartz was working at South County during the Funny Girl run.
Chuck1231: If you call the USBank at South County and ask to speak with Walter Schmittgens, he can confirm the exact location of the Cinema in relation to the bank. He has worked at that location since South County Bank opened in November 1963 and knows the lay of the land.

I opened this theatre in 1966. Wilton J Colonna was the Manager and Laurabel Finley was the Assistant. Colonna came from the Manchester Drive-In and Laurabel was from the Airway Drive-in and Manchester.
Actual seat count was closer to 909.
This was General Cinema unit #509.
Some of the original guys were Dan Schuhwerk, Tom Hubbard, Gary Moll, Joe Voyles. The gals with the sweets were Andrea Jo Frenz, Connie Holzum, Pat Holzum, Linda Weismiller, Bonnie Schaefer, Vickie D'Alessandro, Janet Johannes. I will strain my brain and come up with another 25 early employees.
South County Bank opened in 1963 on the site of the USBank, right next door.
The Texaco station was behind the theatre on top of the hill, later a donut shop and an optical shop, and a McDonald’s was built up there.
I worked there 1966 to 1969, with a break of 5 months in there.
