You can infer from the September 8 post by Mr. Alberto, as well as the Myspace presentation, that the MD will be showing Latin films only. That’s fine with me, as long as the theater is up and running. I missed out in 1997, which is the last time they ran first run films at the MD. I won’t miss out this time.
I was walking around this site today. Fascinating to see the brick foundations Vokoban mentioned above. Too bad we can’t get in the hole and look for artifacts. I don’t think anyone is paying any attention to this.
This may be the Alamo, depending on how many theaters were once in Bennettsville. Scroll down for the address and a photo of the theater: http://tinyurl.com/3a6u6q
LM, do you want to add the Temple Theater, which is seen above the Rialto photo? I don’t see it listed yet. Interesting history as it used to be a skating rink.
Plans were for a road to go through the site as of 2/06, according to this page. As the first poster pointed out, the theater is now gone: http://tinyurl.com/2pco99
This is in the Grays Ferry neighborhood, south of U of P. I drove around quite a bit in this area in the early eighties, but I can’t recall seeing any old theaters. I wasn’t looking for any, admittedly.
This 1972 ad has the Lennox at 10927 Hawthorne. It could have been a different theater. Sadly, Investigator man has not been able to complete his mission as he has been thwarted by his arch-nemesis, Mrs. Investigator Man: http://tinyurl.com/2c7y3o
I was in Victorville yesterday, which is not a frequent occurrence. I probably drove by the Wal-Mart that is there now.

Same as: /theaters/2415/ ?
Perhaps the same for the Fox Rosemary?

Sure, any time. Lots more where that came from.
Thanks. Function can be changed to retail.
I believe so.
