Hi folks

Working on clarifying that the “Hillsboro” and the “Belmont” were two different theaters, albeit in the same block.

I grew up in Nashville, and attended the Belmont and in later years the Belcourt. I don’t recall anything about the Hillsboro, although I was certainly familiar with Hillsboro Village from early ‘50’s onward.

Hi all,

I grew up in Nashville and attended movies at the Belcourt Cinema. I also attended movies at the Belmont Theatre, with entrance located at corner of 21st Ave S and Blakemore prior to its demolition c. 1962.

Did the “Hillsboro” theatre morph from the Belmont? I believe that the Belmont opened in 1925, but I am not convinced that they are the same facility.

Anyone have thoughts to share?
