400 Theater is filled with vintage charm
Inside, the historic building retains its vintage character while celebrating its revival, highlighted by a neon marquee sign and a large mural reading “It’s Alive” in the lobby. The venue runs a traditional concession stand, offering a straightforward, budget-friendly way to enjoy major blockbusters.
With its doors open again, this local cinema offers a chance to catch new releases while supporting a piece of local history.
