Re:Vogel - the theater was demolished several decades ago and the site is now occupied by a dentist office. I knew Carl, he was a pretty prominent EG community member until his death.

My family regularly went here for years until two multiplexes opened in nearby Roseville back in the late 90’s. It’s interesting to read that the Cinedome was younger than I thought since the theater’s design looked like a 70’s artifact. I remember they also had the best arcade with the most up-to-date games, and also I recall the theater’s notoriously leaky roof. It was too bad to see the Cinedome’s demolition but it had to be replaced in order for the owner to compete with the newer theaters.

Harding Plaza was famously a dollar cinema back in the 80’s and 90’s. My friends' parents usually took them there since tickets were cheaper than renting the same movie from a video store.

“The UA” as my family called it and its rival, the Cinedome, were the only local multiplexes when I grew up in south Placer County. I saw lots of now-classic movies at the UA until two theaters opened in Roseville in the late 90’s.

I remember the Capitol being a decent neighborhood theater. My parents and I went there to see The Last Emperor during New Year’s Eve 1988.
