The current Harrow’s there is going out of business. Another store in that huge lot back then was a store called “White”. I don’t even think it was White’s, the sign outside said White. I remmber it was connected inside to a supermarket, Waldbaum’s perhaps.
…also, I’m a little fuzzy on this memory but I could have sworn as a kid that the Pequa ran a James Bond marathon for like 8 hrs once and I was there…at least for some of the films that day. I remember seeing “Billy Jack” at the Bar Harbour theater.
I can pretty much concur that “Rainman” was the last movie shown there. I worked there one night but quit because my back couldn’t take standing all those hours. I used to clean the parking lot and cut the lawn there previous to that. The theater is now an Infiniti dealership. One fact not many people know about the theater is that 10 years before filmong began in Texas for “Born on The Fourth of July”, several scenes were shot outside the Pequa theater. The original roll went to Al Pacino, I beleive. I had or still have black & white newspaper photos from the local paper showing Pacino in a wheelchair outside the theater. I’ll try to search for them at my parents house this week.
