On my recent visit the downtown BIA, I was infomed that the plans for the property of the Lyric are still underway. They are awaiting for a parking permit which will house a multi-level parkade right across the street. This will also be used for parking for the police station. According to the BIA, and the blueprints, the Lyric itself will be eliminated, keeping only the facade. Plans are still underway for the property to be condos, scheduled for 2008-2010. Kind of sad, but with the condition of that building, makes a lot of sense.
Bryan: Be careful going through that side door in the alley…I park my car there everyday before going to work and see quite the “crowd” going in and out of there…BUT if you do get PICS please forward them to me….Thanks…Trevor…:–)
I rememeber seeing “A Nightmare on Elm Street V” in this theatre. But when it was bought in 1998, and turned it into “The Ballroom” A lot of the actual interior was wrecked including the balcony.
This theatre is sooooooo kewl! I would love to see what the inside looks like now, and just before it closed in 1989…Anyone got any pictures to share…???

Are the seats and the screen still there in the back of the Hyland making the Pawn Shop the lobby of the theatre? Thanks.
