I used to frequent here as a kid. They used to have double features and show Grindhouse horror moies.
Another theater I went to many times in my youth. I saw Porky’s and Conan the Barbarian here to name a few of the movies I saw here as a teen. I quit going to this theater as much when Westridge mall opened.(now desert sky mall) . Ah, great memories.
This was the first multiplex cinema as well as the first theatre to be built by AMC in the Phoenix area. Christmas Day ad from 1969 in photo section.

This was last known as Westdale Dollar Theater. I cannot find its closing date, but it did close sometime in the mid-1990s.
