MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A free open house and tour of the long-closed Hollywood Theater at 2815 Johnson Street is scheduled for Saturday, May 15, from Noon to 5:00 p.m. The city hopes that the event might spur interest in reuse or redevelopment of the Art Deco theater that opened in 1935 and closed in 1987.
After just a few short minutes inside this treasured landmark, I was eating my words. Tearing down the Hollywood Theater would be an absolute tragedy. While the place needs a serious Heidi Montag-type facelift, there’s still maximum potential for it to be restored into the great entertainment hub it once was.

Never had the pleasure of wokiing here. However, was in the theatre many times in the late 60’s and early 70’s when I was the BA of IA Local 219. Hope the Hollywood can be saved and restord. It is a real beauty.
