I read that too. I wonder why the Lyric Theater moved from there to College
IB4TECH • 05/27/26 09:05 AM ET
What year did the Lyric move..didn't read that in the article**
HOKIERIT • 05/27/26 09:59 AM ET
The Lyric was on Main from 1922 through 1930 according to the article.**
IB4TECH • 05/27/26 12:22 PM ET
Probably about 1928 or so. The new one opened up in 1930, I believe.**

Oh OK...I kinda felt like the one I went to was on Main, up by Mike's ->

Yeah, you got there right after studio one was built.
