Taken in the Oakley neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The theater is undergoing some major renovations both inside and outside. The murals of famous actors is a big and noticeable change that I wasn't aware of until I saw some shots from my friend, "WestbyMidwest". We picked a sunny day with a blue cloud filled sky to try to get some shots. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, most of the clouds had moved on. Getting a really great shot was next to impossible as the workmen's trucks blocked one angle and trees and poles blocked others. I wanted to get a shot that included the marquee side with Rosemary Clooney's image. In order to do that, I had to risk life and limb by crossing the street during rush hour and take this shot from the island. Unfortunately small trees block Sidney Poitier, James Dean and John Wayne. Fortunately it's Winter time, so there were no leaves on the trees.
From my early youth, this is a theater that I frequented regularly. More recently I've been there for wedding receptions and other events. Ah, the memories!
