What would you like to see happen with the former Paramount Theater?
That question will be on the floor tonight for an open house meeting hosted by Uptown Saint John. General Manager Peter Asimakos tells CHSJ News, this is part of the consultation phase in the hopes of revitalizing the building. It has been vacant for years and some lobby groups have been pushing to make it part of the city's revitalized theater movement.
Asimakos adds the building has a ton of potential with plenty of space for a stage in one theater and the art deco character that everyone will remember.
He cautions they don't want to change the structure of the building too much because the more you change, the more it costs. The meeting gets started at 5:30pm at the U-N-B Grand Hall at the corner of Charlotte Street and King's Square North.
