June 2004 grand opening ad as Lefont Sandy Springs:
On December 16th, 1991; Fulton County Police Interrupted A Robbery With 3 Gunmen In This Theater. 2 Robbers Fled And 1 Ran Into The Theater. Patrons Left The Theater, An Atlanta Braves Player Was One Of The Moviegoers At The Time. The Gunman Was Never Found At This Moment.
April 25th, 2003 grand opening ad as the Madstone at Parkside in the photo section.
General Cinemas closed it in 2000.
This opened as Parkside 8 on May 20th, 1988. Ad in photo section.
An article I found said that the manager, the great Bill Tush, will continue in his roll. If you don’t remember his show “TUSH” or his time on the Superstation go to youtube, you won’t regret it!
This Theatre is Now as The Springs Cinema & Taphouse, & it Previously Operated by Lefont Theatres.
The Parkside 8 was one of eight multiplexes designed for General Cinema by architect James Thomas Martino.
I worked here a few times when they were GCC. I was an “expert” cashier – I could sell movie tickets fast, and my drawer was always even… I worked at GCC gwinnett. I enjoy going here now because it reminds me off all my days working for GCC. They also serve beer and wine!
Great and Interesting Story on one of my old employers GCC.Thanks Stan.
