The Loews’s West opened its doors by Loew’s Inc. on July 19, 1966 with James Coburn in “What Did You Do In The War Daddy?”. The theater also opened on the same day the Loew’s East in Richmond Heights opened its doors with the same movie. The Loew’s West was twinned on May 23, 1973.
Both Loew’s Inc. and Loews operated the theater throughout its history until Loews closed their Loews West on September 8, 1991 with “Defenseless” in Screen 1 and “Harley Davidson” in Screen 2.
Nice 1984 picture Chuck 1231,Wish there were more stories on the theatre.
Nice 1984 photo, the neon LOEWS sign looked like the ones on the Loews Melrose in Nashville, Tennessee.
The building that was once Loew’s West has recently been demolished, along with the southern leg of the L-shaped Rockport Plaza. The vacant Target store remains (why?) as does the eastern side of the original plaza. There is no sign indicating any future redevelopment.
The report also has a photo of the mayor of Rocky River cutting a tape at the opening ceremony for this theatre.
Both Loew’s East and Loew’s West are mentioned in the company’s
1966 annual report.
