With the new millenium comes change and not always for the best, imo.

Yes, these additional b/w photos worked correctly and were fun to see yet I’m devastated to see the Walgreens sign high above that most unusual facade. Can’t believe though that the ‘Couch Republic’ isn’t up in arms over this pharmacy purchase! The ‘theater’ is definitely on THE street in Key West….Duval Street!

lostmemory: After really studying the photo that you posted I am truly outraged now as I see the marquee has been ‘torn’ off! The folks passing by on the street should be holding picket signs and protesting rather than just walking by like they don’t have a care in the world! Unbelievable that this theatre would be allowed to be raped in quaint Key West where there is so much culture and attention to the arts! I would like to read what other members think of this recent ‘development’ that is going in the wrong direction!

lostmemory: Thanks for the photo, but that tacky Walgreens sign at the top of the facade is just that…….tacky! So I guess this means that the theatre is owned by Walgreens afterall! :–(

Riprod: I just noticed that after the word STATUS it reads “Closed/Renovating/Restoring” so doesn’t this mean what it says? Hope we’re all wrong!

TC: THANKS for the photos site of this Key West theater. It’s a real shame that Walgreens got their pharmacy fingers on this one! Now my question about the Walgreens connection has been sadly answered! :–( I, too, have been to Key West during the years I lived in South Florida,but don’t recall seeing this theatre with its beautiful facade and now certainly regret that oversight. :–(

“Every Sunday evening, the interior and beautiful exterior of the Warner Grand can be seen in ESPN Classic’s sports movie show, called "Reel Classics”.“ Must check this out on Sunday evenings!

The Warner Grand website is truly beautiful. The photos really show off the art deco decor so be sure and check it out!

The Debbie Marr watercolor of this theatre is very nice and would be a great one for someone’s theatre art collection!

“….the theater’s facade was saved and became the entrance to the condo buildingâ€"retaining its Deco past.” This saving of a theatre facade was interesting to read.

My neighbors have their parents visitng from Richmond VA this weekend so needless to say I have informed them of their 2 special theatres..this one and the Carpenter PAC both built in 1928! It is really quite something to have 2 beautiful theatres in a city the size of Richmond.

Would love to see some interior photos as I found only one on a news site.

Did the Tivoli still have seats when it was demolished?

Tone: I hope that you get many responses to your inquiry. I didn’t grow up in the Chicago area so can’t help you with any personal memories of the Chicago, but good luck with your worthwhile project. I know that the Fox in Atlanta GA just celebrated its 75th anniversary and have asked residents of Atlanta to share their Fox memories on the Fox website.

The curved window on the front facade of the Chicago is absolutely beautiful and makes me think of the recent curved window that was destroyed in Mishawaka Indiana at the former Tivoli! :–(

“The theater was designated an Historic Landmark by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission on May 19, 2003.” Glad to read this.

Bryan: Thanks for the additional clock info and to read that there are two of those unique looking clocks on that building is really something! My hometown had a clock on its telephone building that I’m trying to have replaced, but it may never happen as the clock is in pieces and it may involve more ‘red tape’ than I’m willing to encounter!?! And the slogan “Let’s meet under the clock” reminds me of an old clock in Erie PA that is the lobby of the former Boston Store on State Street as the slogan there among customers was “Meet me at the clock”. BTW, Erie has the restored Warner Theatre in State Street.

Brian: Your posted site with the Oct 1944 photo was most interesting as I noticed the very unique clock on the side of one of the buildings. Never have seen one quite like that one…wonder if it is still there?

Bryan: When I clicked on the word HERE I found that wonderful night view of the Chicago with its wonderful curved front window! Thanks.
