The 25-year-old movie theatre closed Thursday, which begs the question: Now what?
The show's over. Plaza Cinemas at Chapel Hill closed its doors on Thursday, marking the end of a 25-year run for the eight-screen movie theatre.

Should the space be converted into something new, or would developers be wise to demolish Plaza Cinemas and start fresh? Tell us in the comments.

Well, it appears a movie theater is in the works for the proposed Portage Crossing development, according to a Nov. 12 Cuyahoga Falls City Council agenda. In the agenda, city officials put forth new legislation asking for an amendment to the existing Portage Crossing contract.
