last movie i saw here..i think was trading places in 83
One of the last ones I saw there was Dead Man Walking, but not sure it was the last. I like how you can tell from the outside where the cinema was – you paid for your tickets outside at a window.
I loved this theater and saw many wonderful films. One of my memorable ones: Purple Rain.
Opened on February 9th, 1973 as the first twin cinema in Peoria. Grand opening ad posted.
Closed January 2nd, 2000.
