“ The last dollar-house theater in the Kansas City metropolitan area has succumbed to the era of digital film.
I’m pretty sure this theater opened in the mid 80’s. I remember going there in high school and I graduated in 1988. It’s a little run down now but it’s a decent second run house.
This is a six screen theatre, not an eight screen theatre.
Globe Cinemas didn’t build a single theatre I don’t believe. He just bought out old buildings and re-opened them.
This theater was built by Dickinson, not Globe. This whole area of South Noland Road was the hot area of Independence construction activity in the late 80s but has since fallen on hard times (at least in terms of major investment). AMC’s Independence Commons 20 is about 3 miles.
