The story
The building dates back well before its film days. A 1941 reference describes it as a shoe store, and in the 1980s it served as a punk club called the Dangerzone. It later became a screening room for independent film, and a news item from September 2014 noted that downtown Tucson had gained a first-run movie house here.
