One of my best child hood memories, going to the movies at the Edens I theater, along with bowling at the neighboring Strike and Spare bowling alley. The last movie I saw at the Edens I was “Speed”. What a shame that some developer with an appreciation for fine architecture could not renovate the theater and make it into some type of profitable business, as has been done with other architecturally significant buildings. The ugly strip mall that exists in the space now is a very poor testimonial to the grand 1960’s era theater that once stood there. Very sad.
