Correction: This didn’t briefly close in 1997. It managed to continue operating into 1997 through 1999 as the Buccaneer Palace Cinema & Pub, and was still open when it was renamed Buccaneers Cinema Bar & Grill on November 19, 1999.

A 1980 aerial view shows the theater building, meaning that the theater most likely opened around that year or possibly in the late-1970s.

Still open in 1986. It most likely closed in the late-1980s and early-1990s. The traces and concession building remained standing into the mid-2000s, but the building was removed during the late-2000s.

Despite the business being placed, much of its traces are still visible into the 1980s. This may’ve closed by the late-1960s.
