I'm dismantling "Other Roads in South Austin" to focus on South Lamar and US-290 West, so among those that are getting sliced include 2428 West Ben White Boulevard, the late Lakehills Cinema 4. It operated from 1978 to 1999 under a variety of owners and in 2005 became the new location of Strait Music Company in 2005, but in May 2023, Strait Music Company "South" relocated to 3201 Bee Caves Road Ste. 140. After this, the building was heavily tagged and demolished soon after.

Highland 10 (Austin, Texas)
For a long time I had believed it was just another movie theater I read about but never actually been to, a recent discovery of a ticket stub from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace proved otherwise (and to think, that was in its original form). I still don't remember it, though.
There are also tenants built around the cinema with the same address, like Taj Palace (closed late 2021), which has been here since 1990 (though jumped spaces within the center).
