The Traer Theatre is in financial trouble again.
The North Tama Telegraph reports that last month, the sound system went out and has added to the strain. The theater is looking to raise $10,000 to pay for the repairs and keep the lights on.
Movie theaters all over are having trouble. AMC no longer has any locations in the Des Moines area. Those closures include the former Carmike at Southridge Mall, which I used to be able to walk to. The AMC in Cedar Rapids closed for COVID and never reopened.
