On Monday, January 11, 2010, Northeast Shores will open up the LaSalle Theater to the community. After the Open House, Northeast Shores will host a community forum to hear potential reuse ideas for the theater.

Northeast Shores acquired the LaSalle Theater and Tavern on September 28, 2009 from Parkview Federal. Over the last two months, Northeast Shores has secured the property and did an analysis for the building’s immediate and future capital needs.

The public forum will allow Northeast Shores to hear ideas for what future theater uses could be beneficial to the neighborhood. John Boksansky, Northeast Shores Business District Manager, stated, “This open house and forum will be a wonderful opportunity for the community to see the theater’s current condition. I am looking forward to hearing the neighborhood’s creative ideas for what the theater can become. Armed with those ideas, we can explore potential operators with the support of the community behind us.”

Northeast Shores’ staff has conducted several tours of the property with potentia

l tenants and owners. It's been very exciting to show the property to potential users of the space. We are eager to find a new use for this historic theater. Once a tenant is secured, we can commence renovations to return the building to its historic grandeur.

The open house will commence at 6:00 pm on January 11 at the entrance to the LaSalle Theater, 823 East 185th Street. The community forum to discuss potential reuse ideas for the theater will follow the open house at 7:00 pm and will occur next door in the training center at Federated Auto Parts located at 813 East 185th Street. Interested residents and stakeholders can attend both events, or just one if they prefer.

Brian Friedman is the Executive Director of Northeast Shores

Please also see our form for further discussion. If you will be unable to attend the public meeting, post your ideas on the forum, and we will present them for you. THANKS!

As the New Year begins, Space for Place wants to wish you all a happy, healthy, and fufilling year.

We will be updating content, adding photos, fixing the video feature, amongst a slew of other projects.

Thanks for your interest in preservation and your community.
