Remember When Bangor Had an Adult Movie Theater?
The afternoon I worked at the Westgate Cinema in Bangor is one I’ll never forget.
Before the days of internet porn, and even before video stores offered secret rooms, hidden at the back of the store, people actually had to go out in public to satisfy their craving for adult entertainment.
In Bangor, that destination was the Westgate Cinema, on Union Street. Located where the Northern Light Healthcare Mall is now, it was part of a unique strip mall. The Westgate Mall had a King’s Department store on one end, and Economy IGA Foodliner on the other end, with many smaller stores in a strip mall fashion, accessible from a glassed-in hallway.
