The Loss of Theater Station

Theater Station lost

Theater Station was sacrificed as of February 18, 2013 in order to allow motorists to drive along Main Street. Those using Metro Rail will have to walk another 530 feet (the actual distance between platforms in the same direction is 800 feet) to Fountain Plaza. No bus service will be rerouted to serve northeast-bound riders in the neighborhood.

Attached is a picture of the station's current state as it is going to be demolished.

A gallery exists on our Facebook site as well.
