There is so much wrong with this entry, that I had to sign up and offer some corrections. I saw untold numbers of movies here and then worked the concession stand when I was in high school. It was called Fayette Cinema. The theater was the anchor of a single story strip mall called Fayette Place on North Glynn Street — not Highway 92 as is listed here. The Google map is so wrong I don’t even know where to begin. In its early days, it was a first run house. I remember standing in a line down the parking lot to see The Amityville Horror in 1979. By the time I worked there in 86-87, it had become a three-plex and the owner was a conservative Christian who didn’t like to show R rated movies. I remember when The Witches of Eastwick opened, he refused to show it because of the witchcraft element. I have vivid memories of exploding butter machines, lots of roaches, half-cleaned theaters and, on several occasions, running the concession stand and ticket counter on my own during weeknights because the owner was too cheap to bring in extra staff. When he fired me for being a heathen, it was the happiest day of my life. Still, I saw some great movies there in the 70s-80s including a Gone With the Wind, Beverly Hills Cop, Fatal Attraction and Raising Arizona.
