I saw a lot of movies here. In the early/mid 1970s I worked for Disc Records in the mall, and we would trade the manager of the theatres (Ralph?) records for some free but mostly discount passes. I think they got us into the theater for 50 or 75 cents.
Was the Carlyle the one that had the reclining/rocker seats with the built-in cup holders and ash trays? Only theater I’ve ever seen with that, although I’m sure that are/were others.
Just for historical accuracy – the theater wasn’t torn down and replaced with a Menards. The shopping center was originally an Ayr-Way, then changed to a Target ca. 1980 when they bought the local chain. When Target closed the store it became a Menard’s. All of them used the existing building, so nothing was “demolished” for the Menard’s. As I recall, the Eastwood was on an outlot (on the northeast side by the extant apartments, I think), not in the main shopping center building itself.
