Lehi City Arts Center
Lehi, Utah
After the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History moved to the Memorial Building in 1996, the former museum was renovated and reopened as the Lehi City Arts Center. Limited by its 100-seat auditorium with a combined green and dressing room, the Lehi Arts Council announced plans in 1998 for a new performing arts complex with a 1,800 seat Broadway theater, a smaller 248-seat theater, and a theater-in-the-round. Pledges were secured for $6 million of the necessary $15 million, but fund-raising grew difficult due to competition from other Utah County arts initiatives and the 2002 Winter Olympics Games. In 2003, Lehi City unveiled a $150,000 renovation of the existing arts center.

Jeanie's Smoke Shop has long history in Salt Lake City

Article Summary:
The Gem Theater was located in a sprawling masonry building on the corner of 200 South and State Street. Other shops in the building included Zion's Book Store, Tom's Barber Shop, the Crystal Lounge, and the Corina Cigars. Corina Cigars was forced to move after the real estate arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints purchased the entire block in 1960. A Carl's Jr. restaurant outlet and a large parking lot now occupy the site.
