This bummed me out. Surely other cities have historic theaters that have survived the 21st century. And it seems like the owner and other city entities have thrown good money after bad to try to keep it afloat. Not bad for a building that is barely within city limits.

I just hope it doesn't become a multi-plex/tanning salon/tattoo parlor, but who knows...sigh.
