Extreme Transformation at Former Northgate Theater


I had to do a double take when I first saw the progress at the old Northgate movie theater on Moss Street. The building is being converted into a shopping center that looks like its brand-new. When I called the number on the sign for more information, I reached Affordable Home Furniture, which is a store located just a few blocks away in the old Wal-Mart building on the Evangeline Thruway.


I haven't gotten a call back, but it seems like the furniture store will be the new shopping center's first tenant. The Affordable logo is on a rendering of the development. It looks like tenants for the other slots have not yet been finalized. The view in the picture above is from Castille Ave., a row of smaller store fronts faces Moss. The Northgate Theater closed years ago.

  1. Looks like the Northgate gets the rare distinction of outliving its usefulness as a movie theater yet not being demolished.

  2. Hey Louis, by any chance do you know what Carmike Cinemas is going to be turned into?
