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.

Jitneys Are Taken out of Service
Ogden Standard Examiner, 12 April 1915, page 5
The Jitney Service company decided yesterday to take its regular five-cent fare buses out of service, believing that the bonds required under the new city ordinance made the service virtually prohibitive. The company had been running five cars on the mains streets of the city and would have had to furnish a bond of $25,000 in order to keep them in service.
The company has established a garage in the old Globe theatre building and will operate a special service to Ogden canyon and probably to some of the country districts.
