The Plaza was built on the same property as the Starlite Drive In, opposite the drive in’s screen in the late 70’s, after Martin closed the Grand in downtown Cartersville. It was more or less the same as all of the other Martin Twins being built across the southeast at that time, such as Calhoun, Fort Oglethorpe and Athens, Tn. Opened as a twin, the manager covered both the drive in and the twin, and for a time lived in a small trailer behind the twin. Drive in closed in the early 80’s and the 6 small theaters were added in the 90’s. I seem to recall seeing Dumb & Dumber in one of the new theaters just after they opened. I moved away before the new 12 screen was built.
