the Michigan, and the Bijou. They were great, downtown was just a couple blocks from my high school, saw a lot of great flicks at the Bijou. The theaters had huge screens, lots of ornate details, plush curtains, fancy lights. Then came the 80's, and the multiplexes on the outskirts of town, and a mall, with a multiplex there, too. Downtown became a ghost town, both theaters closed. Downtown has made a comeback, but no theaters.
