PINELLAS PARK -- It will be more than the end of a movie when the last wave of The Perfect Storm dies away early Friday morning. As the credits roll, they will signal the end of the Movies at Pinellas Park, 7901 U.S. 19 N, as well as the end of the film.

The theaters will be razed to make way for a Wal-Mart Supercenter. And for a while, the rolling credits will also mean the end to movies in Pinellas Park, at least until nearby ParkSide mall opens its snazzy new multiplex with stadium seating late this year or early next year.
