I was the General Manager when Northpark closed in 1998. To answer J B’s question Joe Camp came by and got the star. He had also heard that the theater was closing and wanted to make sure that the star did not get destroyed. That was a very surreal time as I had no idea how many people really loved that theater. I was interviewed by all 4 news channels and we were the lead story on channel 8. I even took Gary Cogill on a tour of the private “screening room” that he didn’t even know about. If anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer them as I really grew up working at that theater. I first started working the concession stand at the age of 15 in 1973 and then came full circle by being the GM from 1997-1998. Of course I managed several other GCC theaters between those times but the best gig in town was The Northpark. Even today when I go shopping at Northpark I can still remember the lines of people we had for Titanic wrapping around the building. I really love reading about everyone’s experience at the theater and only wish that it was never destroyed.
