I took a girl there on a date to see the movie “U Turn” in November 1997. I was a freshman at the U of O. It seemed to be just slightly dicey, as it was located behind the Fred Meyer and was otherwise surrounded by a gritty industrial area. After it closed, I remember the area surrounding the theater was fenced off and the whole place looked creepy and decrepit for quite some time. Eventually it was torn down, and now there’s a Home Depot standing it it’s place.

I went to this theater a number of times as I grew up in the area (late 80s-90s). I was surprised to find out that it had closed (early-mid 2000s?). I think the last movie I recall seeing there was “Congo”, which was 1995 according to the IMDB.
