Abandoned Starlite Theater, mid-1960s My first experience with the Starlite was ~1990 when I was in college. Much like riding the streetcar to/from school when I was a kid in New Orleans, I didn't appreciate the rare opportunity to enjoy the experience of a previous generation at the time. I was more agog at the combination concession stand / projection room / gun shop - I particularly remember a glass display case with a line of stun guns.

I stuck to the hot dogs. The most recent resuscitation of the theater was due to the efforts of Bob Groves, a native of Cumberland, MD who purchased the Starlite in 1986. It isn't clear if it had been previously revived - one comment alludes to the theater being abandoned from 1961 until the 1970s, so perhaps there was a previous owner who reopened the theater. Bob was well beloved by many in the community for his "How many you got hiding in the trunk?" greeting and his overall good nature. The Starlite also become a unique experience for Durhamites of the current generation - much like going to a Bulls game for many people, it was often more about sitting outside on a summer night with your friends, some beer, and some hot dogs than it was about the movie. Bob Groves at the helm of the Starlite (date unknown), Courtesy of George Stephens The Starlite was shuttered when it suffered a fire that destroyed the screen in August 2004 , shutting the theater down for a year.

New screen going up, 12.05.04 You can still see the list of contributors and donations on the archived Starlite website, where I pulled much of this information from. Re-opening night, August 2005 The theater would, unfortunately operate for only another year and a half, until March 2007, when its owner, Bob Groves, died suddenly. Siberian Husky Puppies For Sale In North IdahoI've never seen as clear an indication that a place with such character and history stayed open due to the passion of one person, and that person alone. Top Rated Washer And Dryer LowesThe theater closed immediately after Mr. Groves' death, and was abandoned - picked at by various thieves/souvenir hunters. Appliance Repair Elizabeth Pa

It was announced that the land was for sale for $1.4 M, a number that put a chill on an initial push by the same people who wanted to try to revive the theater. Rumors, untrue, flew that the site had been sold to Wal-Mart. The websites all went dark as well in 2008, and the Starlite oh-so-quickly slipped from the collective consciousness of Durham. As of October, 2010, the land was still in Bob Groves' name. The screen that the community all pitched in for has, sadly, been taken down.
