It’s a sad day for moviegoers in Rockford, with the announcement that two of our local movie houses will be closing.
Though I don’t make it to the theater nearly as often as I used to (a toddler will tend to curb your moviegoing habits), I have fond memories of seeing of movies at Colonial Village and North Towne (way back when it was a first-run theater). I’m especially bummed by the loss of Colonial Village. Rockford should be a big enough city to support at least one theater that screens independent and “art” films, and I’m not sure those kind of smaller films will find a home at the ShowPlace theaters, where SAW V and BEVERLY HILLS CHUHUAHUA rule the screens.
