Abbey Theatres

In it’s final year (it closed May 31, 2001), this 8-screen was playing mainly arthouse and independent films with a few bigger releases thrown in. It was also in rough shape with bad seating and older projectors.

They were at the mercy of a Star Theater literally across the parking lot that would get all the major releases and often workers of the AMC Abbey 8 would pick up prints from that theater after they finished playing them (the irony here that the Star Theater became the AMC John R 15).

It was converted to a computer store (Micro Center) soon after.
