And as a little update, the theater was torn down on March 12th to make way for a new Sheetz (a regional convenience store chain.). I teared up a bit when I saw pictures of the demolition.
To Beansie, I think you would be happy to know that while Cheswick has closed, the Mulones still own South Pike Cinemas in Sarver. Since the opening of Cinemark a few years ago, it’s attendance has dropped, but it still pulls considerable audiences on the weekends.
I have many fond memories of the Cheswick. It was the first theater in Pittsburgh to have stadium seating and it was always a special great when you got to watch a movie there. I wish I had known about its closing ahead of time, as I would have scheduled off work to be there for the final showing.
