If you've taken a walk or drive by the old Paramount Theater, don't worry it is not coming down.

A construction crew is removing some of the old facade which includes the glass from the front of the building for safety reasons.

The building has been in the spotlight of late as the drive is on to find a buyer and make use of the former movie theaters.
Peter Asimaskos is the General Manager of Uptown Saint John and tells CHSJ News, the building is structurally in good shape and his group will have an annoucement next week on the search for a buyer and new use for the building.
