First operated as the Rainbow Theatre as early as the mid-1970s. It was later operated by Cinemette Corporation of America and finally Carmike. Carmike closed the Rainbow on October 16, 1996.
Oh, and the Norwin too!
I’d have to ask my Mom and Dad, but I think I was here when I was a kid (I’m in my early 30s now). When I think of all of the movie venues once prevalent in the area (Monroeville Mall, Showcase East, White Oak, Eastland, and yes even the Loews 20) now all gone. I think the only place within miles to see a show is the Destinta.
Many, many memories of this theater! My gram used to take me here all of the time when I was little in the 70’s. Then as a teen in the 80’s, the mini golf course and a movie was a fab way to spend a summer Friday night.
It is indeed a Dollar Store now, and I always wonder if there is still any actual remnants of the theater left inside, somewhere.
I believe the theater is now a Dollar General
