YNDC buys Foster Theater, will shut it down - The Vindicator

The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. purchased the Foster Art Theatre primarily to close the pornographic movie venue.

“Our purpose was to remove the XXX theater along the Glenwood (Avenue) corridor,” said Tiffany Sokol, YNDC’s housing director. “We wanted it gone. We also want to preserve the structure. We don’t have a specific plan yet, but it’s our goal to repurpose the building.”

YNDC purchased the theater at 2504 Glenwood Ave. from Dee Barber, the owner since 1994, for $99,999, she said.
