Avalon Theatre (Portland, Oregon)
 | This article needs to be updated. (March 2012) |
Avalon Theatre is a movie theater located in the Belmont neighborhood in southeast Portland, Oregon. Known for showing second-run films on two screens and for low prices, the theater has an Art Deco design but Avalon's main feature is its classic nickel arcade.[1] The establishment is operated by McKee Enterprises.[2] John McKee purchased the Avalon in 1964. The theater is believed to be "Oregon's oldest theater and the first with more than one screen".[2] In 2008, Portland Monthly named the Avalon the "Best Way to Stretch a Dollar" on their "Best of the City" list.[3]
