| Back in April of 2009, I finally decided to visit the former Cinema City 7, or what's left of it anyways. Although there were several drive-in theaters in south Shreveport years ago, Cinema City 7 and Regal Cinemas in South Park Mall were the only multiplexes in the area. I'm unsure of when Cinema City closed it's doors for good, but I do know it sat unused for several years. The one time I can remember seeing this theater open was when I was very young, and seeing a movie poster outside for one of the Friday the 13th sequels. Most of the building is now gone, with maybe 1/4 still standing. The rest is just foundation, with the occasional patch of tiled floor still intact, which I'm guessing was part of a bathroom. Apparently at one time small portions of the building were rented/leased out to a barber shop and maybe something else. Except for the "Cinema" sign off to the right, no evidence of it ever being a movie theater is left. The following links are of 2 photographs of Cinema City 7 before the demolition of the multiplex, taken by Mike Rosebery, who takes some great photos of Shreveport's lost and unnoticed places. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikerosebery/2288827829/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikerosebery/2288907333/ |
