Recently visited Myrtle Beach. The theatre is still standing. The doors are baracaded and the parking lot is a mess. A large ‘For Lease’ sign graces the entrance to the theatre. I walked around the building to see if I could find some old movie stubs, and instead noticed that a staircase led to a 2nd-level entrance that was propped open with a broom! I took a flashlight and walked around the theatre (illegally, sorry). All of the seats had been taken out of the auditoriums and placed in the lobby. The screens were still up, and the theatre is in great disrepair, but hopefully someone will buy it and open it back up as a discount theatre!

I used to love going to this theatre when visiting Myrtle Beach. If a movie didn’t do well at the first run theatre, it was usually here within a week or two for only a couple of bucks! Very rarely was the theatre ever busy, very easy to ‘moviehop’ and check out 2 or 3 movies a day :–)
