My Spanish is rather limited, but I believe that this webpage, with pictures, indicates that the theater opened in 1931 as the Cine Moderne and is located on the Calle Dr. Cortez: View link

CSWalczak commented about Shore Theatre landmarked on Dec 20, 2010 at 12:43 pm

Good news, but let us hope the designation ends affording the Shore more protection than it appears to have provided the Ridgewood.

I said that the home page confirmed that it was closed; the link I posted above takes you to a different page; try it. When this theater’s listing appeared this morning, the header read 218 W. Fleming. Ken Roe probably fixed it after I posted my comment.

CSWalczak commented about CineBistro Solaris on Dec 18, 2010 at 1:48 pm

Regarding Cobb, they operate more or less as a “new” Cobb. They are still based in Birmingham, but sold off their older chain, and now have have become a specialized chain of theaters like these CineBistros. They recently took over a struggling theater in downtown Orlando: View link

CSWalczak commented about Crestview Cinema 3 on Dec 17, 2010 at 4:08 pm

Official website: http://www.crestviewcinema3.com/crestview/home.asp Judging by the listings, I would say it is a second run house, but Crestview is a small, relatively isolated town so perhaps to area citizens it is regarded as a first run house.
