Unfortunately, The riverview I believe is condemned and is an unsafe structure…The last I heard the theatre was selling for $775,000 with the parking lot. The neighborhood that it is in, the civic league doesnt want any sort of music, or restaurnat or even a movie venue in the neighborhood, so it just sits and sits. I had a brilliant business plan for the re-opening of the Riverview, the $$$ was there, developers, A had such a large group of supporters, but I was ignored, and there it sits…
Within the past 6 months or so , the Palace was sold for $1.00 to a private buyer/developer. The city wants the building renovated with a sufficient amount of time, otherwise the mayor will use strong arm tactics to have the theatre torn down. The current mayor in office wants to demolish alot of the Historical structure of Superior for new developments. The city council suggested that the theatre be torn down and replaced with a replica, in its place. So….lets go from a beautiful Historical, Vintage, Art-deco piece of history and replace it with a Corporate Retro fit….
I believe that the theatre is protected by the Historical Society and cannot be torn down….but I am not exactly sure of those details.
