Now you see it, now you don’t. What a waste ! Really nice place. Badly handled.
This theater has been demolished https://www.flickr.com/photos/25165196@N08/48571417847/in/album-72157668685405374/
Came across a video of someone exploring the interior here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG8im0L5FIY
Rather shocking how dilapidated the interior is. Looks like the entire roof has failed.
The 62nd & Western, Chatham 14 and Lawndale 10 all opened on November 26th, 1997 by a partnership of Cineplex Odeon and Inner City Entertainment. The grand opening ad can be found in the photo section
ICE reopened the Lawndale. Will this one reopen too?
Anything happening with either former ICE theatre (62 & Western or the Lawndale)?
I remember all the hoopla when this place opened in 1997 or so. The partners in Inner City Entertainment made all this hoopty-doo about how they were bringing movies back to the inner-city areas.
What went wrong?
Architects Solomon Cordwell Buenz & Associates contributed to the design here. It is now closed.
Didn’t ICE have a hand in the ill-fated Meridien chain circa 2000-2001? Or Vise Versa.
