Went to a lot of movies in the 80’s at this theatre. Mad Max Thunderdome for one. Yes, the theatre was on the north side, on an L at the end. The middle of the mall was as described in the first comment. It also had a fitness center – I used to work out there. Goldome bank was near the NW end. Lots of little shops. The elderly in un-air conditioned apts. would ride the buses from one mall to another and Gateway was one of their favorites. There was a jeweler’s kiosk and several smaller shops. Does anybody know when they tore it down? It must have been after ‘96. That’s when I left for the NW.

Went to this theatre in 1990. Starkey was fairly forested at that time and it felt kind of out in the country even though it wasn’t. Maybe that’s why it didn’t do well. But then, now that I think of it, I used to go there because it wasn’t crowded. Saw Total Recall and Back to the Future there. Sorry to hear it’s gone.
