I believe that the Sandy Springs was in the former Hammond Square location. I faintly recall there being a Burger King and something akin to a Home Depot in the same complex. Both the building and marquee were still there in the 1990s, but all indicators that a cinema resided there had long since gone. Much of the general structure of the theatre was retained in its conversion to a racquetball centre.
I think the mini cinema was near the Johnson Ferry/Mt. Vernon intersection, but some of the locals insist that the Comedy Spot is the original cinema site. If my memory serves me right, it was built as a twin, similar to the one on Candler Road across from the South Dekalb Mall.

Were either of these locations in the old Hammond Square shopping center? 5549 shows up as inside the perimeter. I recall a theater there back in the first half of the 70’s down in the corner. I think it was a Weis. I was also told there was a theater at one time in the Sandy Springs shopping center where Johnsons Ferry, Mt. Vernon intersect with Roswell Rd. Do you recall that one?
