ARTS: Azteca theater a cultural loss for Laredo community

ARTS: Azteca theater a cultural loss for Laredo community From Staff ReportsPublished Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023 While several local cinemas remain torn down or closed, the Azteca Theater’s loss hit Laredo the most—from a historical perspective. Laredo lost its lower-cost Cinemark Movies 12, west of Interstate 35, in 2020 and the Regal Hollywood cinema in 2021. Movies 12 was demolished in January 2023, but more historically significant to the Laredo community, the Azteca Theater was also demolished this year.
