This theater did start out as a four screen theater inside the mall across the road from where it is now. It closed in the mall and opened across the road as an 8 screen theater around 1987. I attended movies in both locations 1980-1990 before moving away from the area.
The McLean theater was re-opened in the 1980’s for a few years. I’m going to say 1982-1988 or thereabouts. It was my first job, working concessions in 1984. The manager at that time was Tracey Webb; after I left the job to go to college in the fall of 1985 I didn’t keep up with the place, but I think it stayed open another three years or so before Tracey closed it. After that it was a furniture showroom for a long time, and now I think the entire building is gone and the lot is a car dealership lot.
