I’m still getting “something went wrong” messages every time I search up a theater or a location. The “nearby theaters” section on a theater page also has a problem too. Otherwise, everything else is working good again! Thanks CT team!

Gotcha. Besides, if its a Y&W, it was operated by the Y&W chain.

The screen was removed during the early-1990s, and its traces were left abandoned until a Walmart was built at the site, opening on March 17, 2004 as a replacement of an earlier location nearby that had been operating since January 31, 1990, and the original location is currently vacant.
