Sometime in the late seventies, the Century chain of movie theatres changed its way of doing things and the Shore, which had been a bit of a showcase, was essentially allowed to deteriorate until, some time in the mid-nineties, a petition began appearing in local shops in Huntington, urging the town to force the theatre to revamp or shut down. The petition worked and the Shore (no longer Century by this point) was rebuilt on the exact same spot, becoming an eight-screen theatre. Century, in the late seventies, lost a lot of good will when its management decided to sell an incredibly deluxe bowling alley across the street. It became a supermarket overnight.
