The CinemaData project’s file on the Cameo indicates that it had 3 locations during its life. The first location was at “476 Stevens Avenue at Deering Center”; the second location was this one at Forest Avenue – today’s “Great Lost Bear Restaurant.” The third location was at Woodford’s Corner, “next to Christopher’s”. Why did the Cameo move twice? What happened to these buildings?
