The Fox Theater originally opened as the Strand Theater in 1929, it was renamed after being renovated in 1951. Even though it wasn't open for business the doors were open but the lights were off. Stuck my head in the door didn't see anybody to ask what the status was.
"The Strand Theater was another Fox owned and operated theater that opened in the early-1930’s. Seating was listed at 816. It was a bit larger than its sister theater across and down the street (Orpheum Theater).
Closed in 1955, it was later re-named Fox Theater. It closed in June 2008, but was re-opened in April 2009. It had closed again by May 2010.
