There were two Northside Cinema outparcal buildings: (update of August 8 posting)

3535 Ross Clark Opened as the Northside Twin on August 8th, 1969, and renamed Cinema 1, 2 & 3 on May 18th, 1979 and later expanded to 4 screens on June 14th, 1991 and renamed Cinema One. It expanded to 6 screens in 2005 and closed in 2012

209 Executive Park Drive Opened as Northside Twin Cinema 3 & 4 on November 11th, 1976, and became the Cinema 4, 5 & 6 on June 15th, 1979 and Cinema 4567 on June 8th, 1994 and renamed Cinema Two on June 24th, 1991. It expanded to 6 screens in 2006 and closes when Davis Theatres closed down. It was reopened by Carmike Cinemas in 2013 and sold to AMC in 2016, who renamed it Classic Dothan 6 in 2017

3489 Ross Clark Circle is now the Home Depot, which opened as a Woolco.

I will submit a separate entry for the Ross Clark building.
