Author Topic: Arobor 7 R.I.P. William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-21-2002 08:15 AM                     Well Sunday came the passing of yet another Austin Theatre. The Arbor 7 closed that night after the last shows. With the passing of this theatre also gone is the last vestage of the Presidio Theatre chain. The Arbor was a unique theatre that had character that has long been lost with the current trend of Cookie Cutter theatres. I was fortunate enough to be there the last day of operation and photograph the building from the outside to the auditoriums to the lobbyy to the booth. I will be sending you the photo's to both Brad and Adam for posting on thier respective sites.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Leyland Film Handler Posts: 28 From: Lake Charles, LA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 03-21-2002 12:50 PM                     This was one of those rare occasions where Regal did not close this theatre voluntarily. The landlord pretty much kicked them out to make way for a Cheesecake Factory restaurant. The Arbor had to have been the nicest art theatre I have been to yet. It was also unique in its lobby decor. The theatre opened up in 1985 and had a Back To The Future theme. Last week's Austin Chronicle (the weekly paper)mentioned that Regal is trying to lease the closed GCC Great Hills 8 less than a mile away.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
