Does anyone know if the work on the North side exterior archway and balcony have been completed?

Wow, the theatre looks great. Appears they must have done a chemical cleaning of the exterior brickwork during their renovation. The new signage looks sleek too. Updated but not overbearing. Went back to the original name. Nice job!

The re-do of the carriage entrance is currently on-hold for the arrival of terra cotta from Italy.

Why is there no AKA Loew’s Orpheum on the theatre. It was the Loew’s for many of year. Played most of the new first run Disney Films.
