I can remember this theater like it was yesterday when I saw some of my favorite movies there. I hounded my dad to be there on opening night for Jaws. After seeing the trailer on TV prior to the opening I knew I had to see this movie. To this day it is my favorite movie of all time. With the release of “A Bridge to Far” the theater gave us VIP treatment by giving us free admission and reserved seats because my father was in that particular battle and wounded at the bridge entrance.

Unfortunately it has been converted to a nightclub and any resemblance to a prior theater are gone. I can remember countless movies I saw there and also riding Santa’s Rocket that would pick up kids in front of the theater.
