These elements are related to the Amigoland Mall and its cinema.

In the upper left corner is the poster frames for the Cinemark Amigoland Cinema 1&2 in early August of 1994 with “The Crow” and “The Shadow” playing along on a discount, sub-run policy. The venue would close at year’s end. Below that it’s the opening ad as the UA Cinema 1 &2 February 20, 1974 with Steve McQueen in “Papillon” and Dean Jones in “Mr. Superinvisible".

At the top middle is the original directory for the Amigoland Mall with the theatre in purple between Montgomery Ward and Dillard’s.

The grand opening ad is (at bottom) for the entire mall was on February 21, 1974 (the day after the Cinema opened and three months after J.C. Penney’s had opened).

Next to that is the Amigoland on the Rio Grande revised footprint including the amusement park, the condos, the hotel/motel and everything else that didn’t get completed other than the visitor center.

At bottom right is the first ad for Plitt Theatres which took over for UA in Harlingen and Brownsville on October 4, 1985. A coupon got you into the Amigoland cinema for free that day. And above that ad is a 1994 ad as the Cinemark which had taken over the Plitt locations in Harlingen and Brownsville.
