General Information:

AKA Northgate Cinema 1, 2, 3

This 3 screen theater was in the Cambridge Mall which was built in 1972. The first feature was "Sleuth". It ran until the 1980's and eventually was shuttered around 1986. I found the ad for the auctioning off of the equipment. It must have been liked by many because there is a Facebook page dedicated to the theater to this day.

This cinema consisted of TWO auditoriums and it was also joined to Time Zone Arcade. Admission was 99 cents for movies at the time. I used to walk to this cinema and the arcade all the time but was forced closed because of the violent fights that occured in the arcade pool table section and from frequent complaints called in to the Hazel Park Police Dept. The cinema didn`t stay open for too long after since the closing of the arcade, that drew in most of the traffic for the cinema.
