This comment by msetty on the Pine Ridge Theatre page says that the auditorium was un-twinned by the church that moved in after the theater closed, so the house did operate as a twin until closing.
The house on Foster Road is already listed as the Pine Ridge Theatre, though my description of it is not as thorough as the one above. One thing puzzles me, though. I have no memory of the Foster Road Pine Ridge returning to single-screen status before closing. Since I never went to either theater I don’t know firsthand, but it seems to me that both Pine Ridge houses remained twins to the end, based on my (admittedly vague) memory of the theater ads in the local newspaper.
I had no idea that the Strattons had operated another store in town before I moved there in 1986. Their market on Sawmill Road on the east side of town remained open as Stratton’s until it was destroyed by the 2018 fire, though the family had sold it to another owner several years earlier.
