A historic theater has been a community gathering place for over 75 years. It initially opened as The Lyon in 1945 and has since become a staple in the area. The theater nearly closed permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic but its owners decided to reinvent the space instead of selling it.

The theater is moving beyond showing movies and finding new ways to stay open. A longtime patron has many fond memories of visiting the theater, including the old movie reels that would sometimes stop at crucial moments in a film.

Further details on the theater's transformation are available in a video report by Christiana Ford.
