50sSNIPES commented about Santiam Drive-In on Jul 22, 2023 at 7:07 am

Correction: The marquee picture I found is the neighboring Motor-Vu. I cannot find any picture that features the Santiam. Thanks to the Motor-Vu’s ad, it said that the Santiam was still operating that year.

Also, I read an advertisement that featured the Motor-Vu from a year later in 1986 and it does not demonstrate any info about the Santiam. So I’m pretty sure that the Santiam closed after the 1985 season.

50sSNIPES commented about Warwick Cinema & Events Theater on Jul 21, 2023 at 4:58 pm

Now known as “Warwick Cinema & Events Theater”, running mainly first-run and family films as well as some independent films. I tried finding any classic titles that picked up in the Warwick via WayBackMachine and I cannot find any unfortunately, so this page needs an update on its name and functions.

It still advertises in 1985. I recently looked through a page from the Lebanon Express and it features an advertisement for the theater with a very bright picture of the marquee in the daytime.

Still in operation in 1985 but closed by 1994. Speaking of, the 1985 aerial looks kinda confusing actually, because the traces look like that they were completely covered in grass. At the time, the Santiam is operated by Lebanon Theatres, the same chain that also operates the Motor-Vu in Lebanon.

This theater has been closed since either 2011 or 2012. It had three screens by the mid-2000s but it still kept its “Twin Cities Cinema 2” name for some strange reason.

After his announcement, Owens “unexpectedly” closed the downtown Chester Theatre on June 3, 1976 in order to focus on constructing his Cinema Twin at the People’s Plaza Shopping Center.

50sSNIPES commented about Chester Drive-In on Jul 19, 2023 at 6:53 am

The Chester Drive-In operated as early as 1952 and closed in the late-1970s.

At one time, the Chester Drive-in became the only movie house in Chester for a few months after the closure of the first-run Chester Theatre on June 3, 1976. However, the closure of the Chester Theatre did led moviegoers to go see first-run films in Rock Hill instead due to the Chester Drive-In’s policy focusing more on the adult content although it did show a couple of first-run content but only for rare occasions. This lasted until the Cinema Twin at the People’s Plaza Shopping Center opened on November 30, 1976.
