The Mann St. Louis Park Cinema, a former movie theater, stands closed with a marquee reading "After 25 Years We Are Closing Our Doors" and "Thank You."
The Mann St. Louis Park Cinema, a fixture in the St. Louis Park community, ceased operations in 2018 after 25 years of service. The building, constructed to house multiple screens, served as a primary entertainment venue for residents. Its closure marked the end of an era for local moviegoers. The marquee prominently displays "After 25 Years We Are Closing Our Doors" and "Thank You," reflecting the establishment's farewell to its patrons.

Stone Arch Cinema marquee displays "I'll Be Back, Hasta La Vista, Baby" message during 2020 closure.
Stone Arch Cinema operates at 117 SE Main Street in Minneapolis's St. Anthony Main district, along the east bank of the Mississippi River near the historic Stone Arch Bridge. The marquee's message — "I'll Be Back, Hasta La Vista, Baby" — quotes Arnold Schwarzenegger's line from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Theaters across Minnesota closed to in-person moviegoing in 2020 under statewide COVID-19 restrictions, and many independent cinemas used their marquees to post messages to passersby during the shutdown.
