Opened as a triple screen theatre on June 15, 1979. It was expanded to six screens on March 25, 1988. I only went to it a couple times since parking was so scarce (which is probably why it closed and nobody bought the building afterwards).
It closed in 2003, sat for three years empty and for sale and was finally torn down in 2006.
