The former downtown J.C. Penney’s turned movie house opened on July 1, 1981. Renamed as the Bedford Cinemas I & II, it added a popular video arcade. But the venue closed on May 30, 1990 with showings of “Spaced Invaders” and “Cadillac Man.” The operators walked away with those features on the marquee for a very long time. In fact, the theatre was auctioned off in May of 1992 with those very features still on the marquee. In 1994, the venue was converted to an arcade / gaming center and the local newspaper was there to document the removal of “Cadil—c Man” and “Spaced Invaders” that had remained for some four years on the marquee.
