Saw a many of movie at the old Charlottetowne Mall Theaters. I also remember the little man-made stream they had running through the mall. I use to say "when I grow up I'm gonna have me a house with a stream running through it", lol....well, that didn't happen (yet).

I also remember a popular Shoney's Big Boy near the old mall. I wish we could have a Big Boy again, as the Frisch's Big Boy and Bob's Big Boy still exist in places like Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and California.

It was a classic example of a "butterfly" movie theater. (1st of this type to be built in the USA) Too bad this example of modern architecture was torn down.

My other two favorites from that time was the populux styled Capri (building is still there but horribly mutilated) and the fairly well preserved Park Terrace.
