I spent the morning walking past those boarded up doors and feeling the weight of everything we have already lost. We are working behind the scenes to push this in front of the right people because the theater deserves to breathe again.

Seeing the momentum behind this theater feels like watching our neighborhood finally wake up to what we are losing. I spent so many nights in those seats as a kid and it gives me hope to see so many of you fighting to keep the lights on.

I have long hoped that the Victoria theater might re emerge as a performance and arts anchor in The neighborhood. The St. Paul develops an infrastructure that could lead or audiences down the corridor from Minneapolis, this opportunity has only become more attractive

This theater represents important local history, national history (via Frank Cloutier & the Victoria Cafe Orchestra's inclusion on the seminal Anthology of American Folk Music--the only northern group to appear there), and would be a great community gathering space for frogtown. Great history. Great future. Fund it.

We have lost too many historic theaters here in town. Let's get those funds approved so the Victoria won't be one of them. Well worth the effort and it will add so much to the neighborhood !

This is an historic gem near a green line stop on University Ave. An investment here will pay dividends for the surrounding neighborhoods and for the City if Saint Paul.

This is a great opportunity to reuse a building with significant history and relevance to its community! Many people have worked extrordinarily hard on the Victoria's revival, and are continuing to do so!

This would be a great asset to the Frogtown Community, we have housing, diversity, and great restaurants. But what we need is Community Space

The Victoria Theater project is worthwhile.
