This became the Paris on January 25th, 1963 showing adult movies. The Googlemobile passed it in May 2024 showing a construction crew at the site.
The Paris Theater is now closed, and should be marked as such. The music venue version of The Paris closed last year (2019) amid structural issues with the building. There is one report that the ceiling has collapsed inside the auditorium.
Porn is gone from the Paris Theatre. It is back to hosting live music. Here is the web site.
1965 & 2016 photos added. The latter has a marquee that reads “No Longer A Porn Theatre”.
During the 80s a local theater company named “Storefront” used the theater for live plays and musicals. “Vaudeville Returns” was one of their stage shows. Their shows were always very professionally produced.

I miss this as a punk venue. I use to go, hang out at Another State of mind, a punk store that is attached to the same building, then go to a show.
