May 8, 20232 yr Variety Theater: Behind Kelly Flamos' Fight to Revive the Historic Venue The former-owner of Mahall's 20 Lanes purchased the historic building to revitalize its multi-purpose space. By Jacob DeSmit Nearly a year after Kelly Flamos closed on her deal to purchase the Variety Theater, the curtains remain closed on her vision to reinvent one of Cleveland’s historic landmarks. Constructed in 1927, the theater’s interior is crumbling. Decades removed from a fabled Motorhead concert so loud it cracked part of the ballroom ceiling in 1984, large swaths of fallen plaster and debris sit piled across the aisles of the main floor and upper balcony; the building’s main entry remains shuttered to the bustle at the corner of Loraine Avenue and West 118th Like the groups before Flamos, she faces a harsh reality: little can be done before untangling the web of necessary funding. “I thought that my big challenge was going to be running the theater … getting people to come to the theater and keeping it going,” Flamos says. “Over the past year, I’ve realized that there are finish lines before I even get to that challenge.” https://clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/articles/variety-theater-behind-kelly-flamos'-fight-to-revive-the-historic-venue?fbclid=IwAR1VVvhrA6Lr5EyEThqq1P8jBrMwqoCZQC8XNadXcGEXPWbX75AErehsHBg

February 14, 20241 yr Not sure if this is the right place, but Neighborhood Family Practice (a community health center) will be moving their W.117th & Lorain clinic to W.130th. I believe they'll be taking over the closed CVS but I'm not certain. I just know they said there's a drive through for the pharmacy they'll have, so assuming it's there.

Confirmed today that it's the old CVS on w.130 & Lorain they're moving into. It's going to be an expanded clinic, I believe with dental services, and a drive through pharmacy. CEO said proposals went out a couple weeks ago and they're hoping to be in by November of this year.
