Theaters like the Cedar Lee used to be in every large city, but over the decades the films have dried up and the expense of the land has forced many out of business. The Cedar Lee has closed and reopened several times, but it is open now and appears to be doing well. It would nice to see it stay open for decades more!
The theater hosts the Cleveland International Film Festival each year. It also has a regular calendar of movies that you can pick up at local record shops and book stores. It's nice to have a local theater that shows independent films and foreign offerings. They also host several film festivals during the year.
Parking can be difficult, especially if other things are happening in the neighborhood. Most times you can find a place to park on the street, but be prepared to walk a bit.
I love the atmosphere of the theater--the patterned carpet and interior decoration.
Let's keep this place in business!
