The Academy Theater is a
brightly painted Streamline Moderne theater that opened on SE Stark in 1948.
Open until 1974, it was a printing business(!) until earlier this year.
Unknown to me until a few weeks ago, the people who were renovating the place
are turning it back into a movie theater--one with $3 second-run movies, beer
and pizza from Flying Pie Pizza next
door.
