Grassroots effort aims to keep the Granada Theater open
A grassroots effort is trying to keep the 80-year-old art deco Granada Theater functioning as a theater in Dallas. Why it matters: New York-based Bathhouse plans to buy the property and convert it to a wellness space with saunas, steam rooms and pools. Catch up quick: Granada Theater owners Mike Schoder and Julia Garton said in late October that the Lower Greenville theater would stop hosting shows and events after April 17. They cited dramatic changes to the live music industry for the decision, per a statement posted to Facebook. The adjacent restaurant, Sundown at the Granada, closed in early October. "Rising costs, shifting audiences, and corporate consolidation have made life increasingly difficult for independent venues," Schoder and Garton said in their statement. The latest: Two days after the announcement, a group of residents started the "Save the Granada Theater" Facebook group. More than 600 people have joined since then. Between the lines: There's another sense of urgency for the group: The Granada does not have landmark protections, Preservation Dallas executive director Sarah Crain says. Bathhouse previously said the theater's marquee and facade would remain but that the Sundown at Granada restaurant would be torn down, per the DMN. What
