Weinsteiger Film Handler Posts: 34 From: Kutztown, PA, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-13-2002 12:31 PM                        i'm going to be visiting a friend in Michigan City, Indiana the first week of December. Any great old theaters there i should check out?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-13-2002 02:52 PM                     I don't think there's anything left in MC. There's the funky 1980s Marquette and the typical boxy former GCC Dunes Plaza. I wizzed through downtown while I was there, but didn't particularly notice any theater buildings, much less ones still operating. There is a live "Mainstreet Theater" on Franklin Street, but it's nothing to write home about. Looks like it was converted from a storefront. The drive-ins are long gone. Photos are on Cinematour here.  |  IP: Logged Jason R.

Anything there?  |  IP: Logged Greg Borr Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Watervliet, MI Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-14-2002 04:47 PM                        There isn't anything worth seeing in Michigan City, lots to choose from in Chicago. If you are willing to drive a bit you can visit a very neat art house in Three Oaks, MI here  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 11-14-2002 04:48 PM                     My Wife is from Michigan City, so we visit there often. There's nothing left downtown --- just the sanitized multiplexes on the south side of town.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
