According to the Lynchburg News and Advance of October 25, 1962, the proposed movie theater in the Pittman Plaza Shopping Center would be leased to the Stewart & Everett chain, and had been designed by the architectural firm of Charles H. Wheatley & Associates.
The 764-seat single-screener opened in late 1963.
Carmike operated this theater until its new 8-plex (now Venue Cinemas) was opened in July of 1991.
This theater was demolished summer 2019
Went to several movies there in high school, including “Micki and Maude”, “The Ice Pirates”, “Hardbodies”, “Weekend Pass”, “A View To A Kill”, and “2010: The Year We Make Contact”.
Listings for Lynchburg, VA, so far do not include the 4 screens at River Ridge Mall or the Boonsboro Shopping Center. I went to plenty of movies at both. I’m surprised they aren’t listed here.
