Trolleyguy commented about Center Cinema Twins on Jul 12, 2020 at 7:00 pm

This theatre has been sold to new owners who have reopened the Starlite 14 Drive-in just south of town. The drive-in is now open and showing older films. The Center Cinema Twins may open again once the Covd19 crisis is open. https://madison.com/wsj/business/starlite-14-resurrected-in-richland-center-amid-covid-19-pandemic-but-older-movies-offer-challenge/article_fa45f095-96ac-54b0-862a-d0f3b32170b1.html

Status should be changed to open. The theatre has been sold along with the Center Cinema Twins in downtown Richland Center. The drive-in is now showing older films and providing social distancing. Here’s a story about it: https://madison.com/wsj/business/starlite-14-resurrected-in-richland-center-amid-covid-19-pandemic-but-older-movies-offer-challenge/article_fa45f095-96ac-54b0-862a-d0f3b32170b1.html

The website link has been hijacked. The theater’s Facebook page says a soft reopening is scheduled for July 10.

By 1954, the old streetcars shown here were no longer operating on State Street in regular service. They had been replaced by the newer PCC models.
