Too expensive. In most cases I can wait 3 months and buy the DVD for less than the cost of 2 tickets.

If you live in the area this is good news that shopping center is a dump now. I would be really happy if they would take the townhomes behing the shopping center and make that the parking lot or lumber yard.

Not a great place but OK. I saw “The Glass House” there a few years back and it was fairly clean.

I thought the in door theaters were still open, I remember seeing “Flowers in the Atic” there in the ‘80s. The outside theaters were much nicer, I saw 2/3 original Star Wars films there.

The downstairs theaters we terrible it’s the best thing that could happen to them. The upstairs theater are great I took my girlfriend to them almost every Friday in the late ‘80s and earily '90s. Good times.

I just noticed that this place has disappeared this month. I took my kids to a car show that was held in the parking lot and I decided to take a walk by the place. I could not believe it was gone, I had a lot of good time there back in high school in the late ‘80s.

I saw a lot of films there growing up in Hanover Park. In the ‘70s you could see Saturday afternoon Godzilla movies by saving bottle tops. During the week and at night they showed movies that were more current by not realy new, usually weeks before they went to video. The place got more and more run down like the area around it. Now the it and many of the other store around it have closed.
