The Showcase Cinemas, on Rt. 22 (Most people considered it to be in Monroeville, but it was actually in Wilkins Twp. - Monroeville didn't start until you crossed over the bridge, towards Monroeville Mall). In 1981/82 ? it went from 4 screens to 8 (they just made the theaters smaller, as they weren't filling each one, & this allowed them to show more movies at once). Later (I don't know what year), they expanded again. This time from 8 to 12 screens.

No mention of Central States Theaters and ABC Theaters, both operated by the Blank family. Their offices were in the Paramount Building. They operated theaters and drive-ins throughout Iowa and, I think, in Illinois.

Cinema plant had full restaurant and bar. You could order and the food would come out to your movie seat. Was great when it opened. If the owner had run it right it could have been great.
