You mean Grosse Pointe Park? Yes... they closed the Esquire Theatre because of "problems"... literally Eminent Domain'ed it [[back when you could) from the Steiner family... and tore it down so there would be no more "trouble" in that theatre. Today they no longer have a "public" theatre... just the one for locals at Grosse Pointe Park Park.... where you have to be a resident to see the film.
The Punch and Judy is offices today [[built within the theatre), the Woods is long gone... and in south Warren the city finally got rid of Cinema City Warren 4. The Harper Woods Theatres are gone, as are the Eastwood [[Eastpointe), the Shores-Madrid [[SCS), and the Roseville....
You have to get quite some ways out of the Detroit city limits before you come across any theatres at all. Ditto for the west side. Is this all coincidental, or deliberate?
