The Twin City Cinema was opened on March 22, 1974, by the Mid-America Cinema Corp. chain (Komm Theatres). The box office was located to the right as you entered with the concession stand next to it and the rest rooms after that. The two auditoriums, which each sat 300, were on the left of the lobby. Same color scheme as all of the other twin cinemas that Mid-America Cinema Corp. had built with the deep burgundy and brown with a gold trim. In April 1984 it was taken over RKO and was closed in 1985.

Interesting…the venue actually opened March 22, 1974.
Designed by firm of Sauder, Fine and Bildner. There were two auditoria of 300 seats each.
Theatre was listed in the Wehrenberg Theatres ad from February to Sepember of 1985. Then, a note that the theatre was “closed temporarily due to fire.”
Based on a little research on Google Maps, I think the address given for this theater is 416 North Truman Boulevard. I think it should be changed to 416 SOUTH Truman Boulevard. Check it out on Google Maps and I think you’ll see why.
Kyle Muldrow is correct, it should definitely be 416 South Truman Boulevard. It was on the east side of S. Truman, directly across from the shopping center. I saw a few movies there in the late ‘70s/early '80s, including “Deathtrap” and “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”
The theater needs to be added in the Mid-America Cinema Corp. previously-operated list.
RKO took over the theater in April 1984 following Mid-America’s purchase, but the Twin City closed the following year in 1985.
