Restored 1930s theater will serve Burton Heights community

Glad to see that this is moving along to a possible 2023 opening. Also, the marquee still works!

Co concept from the Black Wall Street group. Looks like the first of many projects (at Eastern and Burton). 11,00 square feet of commercial space and 34 apartments:

I live a driver, pitching wedge away from this. This is exciting!

I like this! That intersection has been in need of a kick in the pants like this for a while and has always had so much potential. I just hope it is more than just a rendering! I do like how they preserved the unique angled parking. I've always liked those for some reason.

 

One thing that confuses me though are the 3 southbound lanes on Eastern. Couldn't one of those at least partially become a planted median? Maybe there is even enough room for a sheltered bus stop?

Only one goes through. Left turn and right turn lanes are needed badly for that intersection
