I remember seeing movies at the Paramount in 50’s and early 60’s. It was by far the nicest theatre outside of Toledo. Remember seeing"Wizard of Oz" in late fifties and being in awe over the film when it went from black&white to color.

Fortunately the main auditorium still retains most of its original character.It’s unfortunate that they had to carve things up a bit to make room for their multiplex.

For history buffs: Do you remember the other movie theatre in town? It was located also on Front St. in the adjacent block to the north. I believe it was named the “Strand” but it didn’t compare to the Paramount in stature.
