Information for this tour was contributed by Roger Katz.

The 600-seat single screen Forest Theatre opened in 1930. It was remodeled after a fire in 1965. The theatre showed second-run films and was struggling to stay in business, as are most sub-run theatres nowadays.

The concession stand and arcade are oddly located in the auditorium itself. The owner hopes to twin the theatre in the future and move the concession stand to what is now an ice cream parlor next door.

The theater closed on February 26, 2004.
