Cine ABC

I found two interesting links about this theater that I visited in 2019. One is an article discussing its controversial history:

https://newsrnd.com/news/2020-03-08–abc-theater–the-most-closed-place-in-the-city-reopens-as-%22non-danceable-bowling-alley%22.HJmfi5MHL.html (The correct link should have quotation marks instead of the two %22 characters that are displaying there. I don’t know why it’s doing that.)

The second is a video of the interior of the theater (pretty much how it looked when I was there, in August 2019–the video was taken in December 2019, just 4 months later, by the media there). For those who don’t speak Spanish, the news story was that the police raided it and closed it down for lewdness and drugs, basically. Apparently the theater had been closed down 23 times between 2010 and 2019 (!) and it reopened a few months later as a supposed bowling alley.

From what I see on current reviews, it is once again an adult cinema.

Before it was divided, it was a one screen 300 seat theater, according to the first link, the English language article.
