Grand Lake Theater
The Grand Lake Theater has been located on Grand Avenue since 1926. Over time it has developed into a small multiplex and also houses a display of antique projection equipment. Two days a week they turn on the big rooftop sign made of hundreds of light bulbs, the largest west of the Mississippi. (A photo of this sign will be featured in a later post). Mondays through Thursdays they offer discounted tickets and free popcorn!

I think I saw "Stakeout" there with my wife(a month before she was my wife) on Labor Day weekend 1987. Cool theater!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous theater. I'd want to go there even when I had to pay for the popcorn. :)
