As memory serves the Granada closed in the late 70’s briefly and was used for boxing, beauty contests and other activities. When the Granada re-opened in the late 70’s it was torn up pretty bad. The last movies I viewed there were The Big Red One, Caddyshack and The Shining all in 1980. Me and two cousins went up into the balcony (it had been closed for years, we snuck past the help) and watched The Big Red One, it was still in great shape. I grew up going to this theater. What a shame we lost such a wonderful piece of Americana!
