Remembering The Martin's Eastgate / Suburban Plaza Theatre circa 1965

     DECATUR GA
Remember this theatre, it was located at Suburban Plaza Shopping Center. original name was Martin's Eastgate Theatre but later changed name to The Suburban Plaza Theatre.

 The opening movie for the theatre  was  The World Premiere of Walt Disney "Those Calloways".  At the premiere were stars of the film, Brian Keith, Brandon De Wilde and Linda Evans.

Comment from :Stan Malone Built by the Martin Theatre Company in 1964 as the Eastgate. The shopping center and theatre soon underwent a name change to Suburban Plaza, probably because there was already an Eastgate Shopping Center on Columbia Drive near I-20. It opened in January 1965 on the same day as the Village and the Westgate Twin. Premiere feature was “Those Calloways.
