Columbia City Theater's Grand Reopening MUSIC
Columbia City Theater's Grand Reopening

Columbia City Theater has been around since 1917. It's hosted Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller. It was a neighborhood movie theater in the '50s and a rave venue in the '90s. Early this year, the lights went dark and the gas was shut off. Now, with new ownership and after months of renovations, the attractive brick-walled theater is reopening with a weekend of free music. Tonight: prankster rappers Mash Hall, Beacon Hill hiphop collective Cloud Nice, and the omnivorous DJ Suspence; Saturday: Grand Hallway, Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives, and Kelli Schaefer. (Columbia City Theater, 4916 Rainier Ave S, www.columbiacitytheater.com. 9 pm, free, 21+.) by Eric Grandy

Oh, the good ol' Lish house is back in action. I have many fond memories of dancing for hours on it's slanted floors while the ceiling dripped condensed sweat from a hundred other dancers and DJs all over me.

From the photos I can't tell what renovations were made by the new owners, it looks exactly the same as the last time it was renovated.
