Anybody noticed that there is crazy work going on at the Commodore this week? I don’t know what’s going on exactly, but they are tearing out walls and lugging debris to the curb. They were also bringing new drywall inside. I was sort of able to glance inside because they had the side door open. It was a real mess inside.
Okay people. Here’s the deal. I have talked up this theater to loads of people, some of which have expressed interest in investing. But at this point all that I can tell them is that there is this beautiful old theater that, if re-opened, would be the only theater around. I moved to the neighborhood shortly after the theater closed, so I’ve never even seen the inside of it.
I need to gather more information before I can go any further. Is the theater available for lease? How large is it inside? Who are the current owners? Are there plans to turn it into the school? What ever happened with the attempts to get the building designated as an historical landmark? What is the current structural state of the building? What condition are the seats/screens/general decor in? What, if any, equipment is still in the theater? (projection, sound, etc…). What community groups would be most interested in seeing the theater re-open?
So I have loads of questions. Anyone who want’s to share information with me please feel free to post here. You can also e-mail me at I really don’t know how feasible it would be to re-open this theater, but I think that it’s worth investigating. And who knows, maybe we could get it open and running again. It would be a really great thing for the community. Lets see what we can do…

Does anyone have any current information on that status of the theater? I have found some investors who have expressed some interest re-opening it.
