This is a photo of the City Theater in Morehead, circa 1965. It doesn’t look much like the map photo, unless there was some drastic remodeling when the theater was twinned. The current building looks more like a bank.

Carmike called this theater the Morehead Twin. The former Morehead (Twin) Theater loooks nearly identical to the Town & Country theater in Aberdeen, which was opened in 1966. Both the Morehead and the Town & Country were built by Stewart & Everett, so the Morehead (Twin) Theater was most likely built in the mid-1960s as a single-screen. I have seen a photo taken in the mid-1950s of the old Belk store on the 700 block of Arendell Street (I forgot where I saw it); next to Belk’s was a movie theater named the Morehead. This may have been the 1954 theater; it looked nearly identical to the Wilrik theater in Sanford (which was also S&E).

This was the second Morehead Theatre, opened in 1966. The first Morehead Theatre (the 1954 theater) was at 702 Arendell Street.

This theater has been renamed again; now as the Carteret Community Theatre. Morehead City still lacks a cinema; the nearest cinemas are the Atlantic Station 4 in Atlantic Beach, Emerald Plantation 4 in Emerald Isle, and the AMC Classic Havelock 6 (former Carmike Cinema 6) in Havelock.
