I think this was originally part of the Jerry Lewis cinema chain and opened in the early 70’s. It was a tiny place.
My hometown. My home theater. First movie I ever saw was at this location. It was a re release of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. I saw so many great movies here growing up. I remember the line to get into Empire Strikes Back was all the way up to the front doors of the Montgomery Wards that is now a Schewel’s. I truly miss this theater.
The last film to screen there was Major Payne.
I see that the Plaza Cinema is listed as closed but I should point out that it has also been demolished. The corner of the shopping center where it was located is empty now.
