Joy Theatres opened this Cinema in 1950 as a single screen. It was later expanded to a 6 screen with a new grand opening on September 30, 1973 and was renamed Joy’s Cinema City. By the early-1980’s it was expanded again to 8 screens. In 1998 it was operated by Silver Cinemas and closed in 2000. The building is now occupied by a Toyota dealership.

Saw several movies there. Mom jokingly called it a “Firetrap”

I grew up going to this theater throughout my child hood (70’s-80’s), and into college (90’s). We used to run across the interstate, cross the drainage pipe over the canal to get there (Crazy)! This was the time when the ticket taker used to guard the door making it a challenge to sneak into R-rated movies. Also, I remember you had to walk up the stairs to the second floor to go use the bathroom. Man I miss that place! Fun times!!!
