Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Cine Grand Mankato 4 on May 19, 2010 at 1:28 am

AKA:

CINE

CINE 4 THEATER.

Here’s a little more rough info that can also stand to be corrected or more info added to.

It opened in the early 1970’s as a twin.

In the late 1980’s it became a 4 screen as it was taken over by Excellence Theaters Corporation.

In the early 1990’s it was taken over by Carmike Cinemas.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS:

REMOVE UNIVERSITY SQUARE.

Google Maps Red Dot will then go right to the theater location.

I THINK the theater opened in 2004, can anyone verify this?

I know it is no longer Carmike, they now have a 6 screen in Mankato.
Are we sure it is still open and who runs it?

Just to nit pick a bit, as far as I can tell from 40 miles south of Chicago, the

Post Office is 320 and the

Winter Hill Bakery is 318.

Check it out, I could be wrong.

TRANS-LUX CINE.

Mike, thanks for the info, I found the Sonic, at 226 East Hill Street and just down the road a bit the junction of 17 and 78. I went east on the Google Satellite for a distance, but found no sign of the remains of a drive-in, so sad.

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Cinerama Theatre on May 9, 2010 at 6:20 pm

Mark, I’m guessing this is a typo, cause I don’t know of CINERAMA ever having a 164 degree screen. I’ve checked elsewhere and this theater had a 146 degree screen.

This theater showed 70mm CINERAMA from 3 December 1964 to 23 January 1984.

Do you know if there is now a multiplex on the site?

Any chance of coming up with a full address?

At any rate, thanks for adding a CINERAMA Theater to Cinema Treasures!

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Austin Cinema I & II on May 9, 2010 at 3:51 am

Nick, GREAT write up, CONGRATS! If only every theater on Cinema Treasures had a story like this.

It’s bad enough when they twin a theater, but I really hate it when they don’t even bother to change the angle of the seats after they put the wall down the middle.

Can anyone come up with an address or at least the crossroads of this drive-in?

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Siler City Drive-In on May 8, 2010 at 1:34 am

I followed the Google Map Photo along Highway 64 from Siler City west to Ranseur, the next town, and didn’t really see any remains of a drive-in. Anyone else have any better luck? Better yet, does anyone know the exact location?

I understand the drive-in held 190 autos.

Thank You

Please forgive me, I know this is off topic, but it’s so close I’ve just got to mention it, it’s just accross the street and a bit southeast of these theaters. If you like trains like I do, or even if you dont’t the #2 train store in the USA is waiting for you (they even have an outdoor track) it’s really a fun place to see!
