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.

Runaway Horse
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 August 1908, page 6
A horse belonging to James Ford, paper hanger, 141 Patterson avenue, near the corner of 23rd and Adams avenue, and breaking its bridle dashed down 23rd street to Washington, where it continued its flight until stopped in front of the Dreamland theater. One wheel of the wagon was demolished and several pedestrians had narrow escapes in avoiding the frightened animal.
