Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Opera House Fire
Box Elder News, 1 June 1911
Fire started in the rubbish near the back stage door of the opera house early this morning and a host of citizens made a dash for the scene only to find that the blaze had been extinguished. Somebody had evidently thrown a lighted cigarette out of the door, which fell among the paper and ignited it. When the water was turned on the blaze, it had started to burn the corner of the step, so it was nipned just in time, and a disasterouse fire was averted.
