I work three blocks away from the Alabama Theater I never knew 3rd Ave had been a two way street. The building on the left with the stone work on the out side is the Lyric theater. Its fallen under into disrepair the stone work and advertising board are no longer there. But there is hope a group is raising money to restore it. The Lyric was built in 1914 and the Alabama was built in 1927.

Here is a link to the Lyric
