The Ritz has recently been divided up into office spaces.

my parents moved from memphis to covington in 1985.that year some one was still trying to make a go of the ritz as a movie theater showing second run movies… but i think that did not last long.

Chuck, thanks for the exceptional photo. I had to laugh, because it makes the building seem very big. I remember standing on the sidewalk and resting both hands on the edge of the marquee: it must not be much over 7'-6" above the pavement. When I last saw the Ritz, it was being used as a vending machine storage warehouse. All the doors were unlocked and no one was around, so I made myself at home. Everything from the theatre days was still in place, including the seats, but there were various coin-op machines in the aisles, on the stage, in the lobby, in the balcony etc.
