Renovated West End Cinema to Re-open Tomorrow

D.C. used to be the home for a wealth of small, independent cinemas, scattered all over the city. But look at the current movie listings: you’ll find but six theaters within the city showing first-run movies, and only one of those — The Avalon — isn’t part of a chain. As of tomorrow, though, you can add one to each of those tallies, as the old Inner Circle Cinema — one of the latter casualties of the near-extinction of the city’s smaller movie houses in the 80s and 90s — is reopening as the West End Cinema.
