This opened on December 15th, 1978 by Plitt Theatres. Later taken over by Cineplex Odeon in 1986.
This is the first theatre that I worked at, in the early 1980’s. I was 19 at the time and worked as the assistant manager. Ron (can’t remember last name) taught me projection. It is a skill that I have used on and off my entire life! Worked at theatres in several states in the past 30 years.
