New tenants making bbq.
Theater is again for lease. Utility bills not paid.
The State Theatre building is being converted into a bar and restaurant to be called the 8 State Bistro. They have a web site, but so far all it has is a front page. The first week of December was their original target for opening, but I don’t think it’s open yet.
Theatre is for lease.
Asking price is $850,000!! http://www.krg1.com/property/view.dT?id=177
The state has a for sale sign up and the amish furniture store is moving up the street next year.
This theater still has its proscenium arch and projection room holes.
The State can be seen on the right on this circa 1970 photo:

When did it close? I recall seeing listings for it in the Columbus Dispatch well into the 1970s, when I moved away from the area.
