I went to Omega restaurant 3 weeks ago and noticed the closure of Golf Glen, one of its last new showings was King Kong. It was a craphole for the last 15 years and I have no idea how it remained open so long.
It was 1980 when I moved into the area and remember the theater as an A&P which closed later that year (severe bankruptcy – A&P is a facinating story in itself but that has little relevance here). It then became an Army/Navy or Salvation Army store from early 1981 to late 1982 then closed until the creation of the Golf Glen theaters in June 1984 (I first seen the sign from a school bus when I was going on a field trip. I was one of the goofs who liked break dancing and wanted to see Beat Street…the 80’s will never be cloned).
