My grandparents managed the Dreamland Motel. I have a picture of me sitting on the diving board in my Easter dress. 1972 or 73 maybe.

I believe I was about 10 years old the first time I saw a movie at Spring Valley Theaters. My dad took my little brother and me to see Superman. It was a great experience. I really miss this movie theater.

Chas HWY store was built in 1966 or so.

Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they dont...I think you have to take it on a case-by-case basis...

For Example: They said that Kmart #4141 (1500 Charleston Highway) was built in 1998 and something tells me that said building is older than that.

They also said that Kmart #4043 (4400 Ft. Jackson Blvd.) was built in 1963 while Kmart #4319 (7325 Two Notch Road) was built in 1970 which make sense to me.

They also say that the Kroger at 3403 Forest Drive was built in 1986 and is app 46K square feet...

Based on some of the dates they've posted, I've grown pretty leery of Loopnet building dates.

Did this close when the new theater was built at Spring Valley Commons?? Because if that is the case, I can tell you (based on loopnet data) that Spring Valley Commons was built in 1988...

I recall the Bond films always came to Spring Valley theaters. Saw Star Wars, the first Star Trek, and of course, the sci fi classic Flash Gordon in 1980 here.

Star Wars seems to be a common thread among the commenters. I grew up in St. Andrews and we had to drive to Spring Valley to see Star Wars in 1977. We went to the old Dutch Square theaters to see Empire Strikes Back and Bush River Mall to see Return of the Jedi. Now all three theaters (along with most of the others) have closed.

I saw Star Wars here in 1977. I was five. I know I saw the Abyss here too and that was in 1989. I think they tore it down when they built the Movies at Polo Rd.
