City of Evansville Buys Building Adjacent to Alhambra Theatre
Roger McBain writing in The Courier & Press:
The city will pay $150,000 for an art gallery and a studio at 56 and 58 Adams Ave. and work with the Alhambra’s board of directors to provide the space for bathrooms, dressing rooms, meeting rooms or, perhaps, a black-box theater to attach to the historical Haynie’s Corner theater…The goal is to donate the property as part of a revitalized Alhambra project, considered the anchor for the Haynie’s Corner Arts District.
One of my favorite buildings in Evansville looks like it’s one step closer to restoration.

This is great news for Evansville. The area used to be a mecca for the young adults of Evansville. Remember Deeg's,Van's ,Gore's,Eddie's and Lloyd's? Not to mention Chuuck Frary's on the corner@2 Washington. Maybe this will stem or at least slow the decline of this part of town.
