I was just inside the State Theater on Sunday 4/19/05. The rennovations are looking great. The entire interior should be restored by sometime in September ‘05. Future plans include restoring the '30’s mayan style marquee outside as well. inside, the Theater looks like a miniture version of the Egyptian in Hollywood (excpet, of course in Mayan theme, versus Egyptian) I spent many hours in the state as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s, with no idea the history that lay beneath a few coats of “Butterfield green and beige” paint.
