I used to work at this theater when I was a kid … closed the doors on its last day as a movie house. Good to see that there are people working to fix it up as it has lots of potential to be a beautiful landmark for the area.
Does anyone have any contact info for the people who are working to fix it up?

Nice.
Also known as the fox theatre.
I don’t think this was ever known as the Fox Theatre, was operated by Fox Midwest but has always been the Granada.
