First, Mt Healthy IS a city of it’s own. It is not part of Cincinnati, OH. It is in the middle of Springfield Township, but has it’s own government, police, fire dept and Mt Healthy City School District. The Main Theater DID NOT CLOSE IT’S DOORS in the 1950’s. I went there every Saturday afternoon as a kid growing up. It closed in the early 1970’s. MT Healthy was a refuge from the Cholera Epidemic of 1850. The original name was Mt. Pleasant and was changed because the folks living there did not get sick. After the epidemic, they changed the name of the town officially to Mt. Healthy.
