Harkins to close Centerpoint Theater Sunday

Jan. 4, 2008 05:05 PM The Harkins Centerpoint movie theater will close
its doors for good Sunday. [...]The closure of the downtown Tempe theater near Mill Avenue and Sixth street is the first step in redevelopment plans for Centerpoint on Mill. [...]
The development of a major hotel with about 250 rooms and a
40,000-square-foot health club available for public use is also in the
works, according to a press release. [...]does not affect Harkins Valley Art Theater, located further North on Mill Avenue. [...]Harkins decided to close the Centerpoint theater because of new theaters
that have opened up in the surrounding area recently. Harkins opened a new multi-plex at Tempe Marketplace, near McClintock Drive and Loop 101, last year.

Hm. Posting blogs from thy cellphone or palmtop? The link to the article goes to AZCentral Mobile, which isn’t going to work for anyone viewing from the web — or at least that’s my assumption, as it failed for me. Here’s a link to the article straight up.

I will miss having a major theater right off of Mill that I can get to during the day to actually go watch movies. I have notes and interviews with people who saw all of that go up, and now I’ll be able to record it going down.

Yep…you got me dead to rights. @#&!% Azcentral routes me right to their mobile site no matter which clever workaround I try, so sometimes I get stuck with the mobile link when I can’t wait to post from a desktop boat anchor. I have my eye on one of those Sony ultra-mobile PCs running full-blown XP for next year.
