Visions for Vacancies: Valley Center Movie Theater

Located in Valley Center off of Reisterstown Road in Owings Mills, the space that used to be home to AMC Loews Valley Center 9 has been vacant for quite a while now.

The lights inside still go on at night, but it's hard to tell what's still inside since the doors are sealed up.

The theater has a bit of an unfortunate history. Paul Schrum, a 62-year-old Pikesville resident, was randomly shot dead about 20 minutes into a showing of "X-Men: The Last Stand" in 2006. The theater remained open for a number of years after the shooting.

What sort of business do you think would you like to see in this space? Tell us in the comments.

Is there a commercial vacancy you'd like to discuss? If so be sure to email editor Marc Shapiro (marc.shapiro@patch.com) and maybe it will be featured in the next Visions for Vacancies.
