Strand Theater, Prestonsburg, KY
Prestonsburg, KY (Floyd County)
The rough economy has taken its toll on businesses around the region, and a historic movie theater in Kentucky is the latest victim.
The Strand Twin movie theater has been rolling film in Prestonsburg, Ky., for more than 60 years, but the final scene is approaching.
Declining ticket sales and digital upgrades that would cost more than $200,000 dollars are just too much to keep the old theater going. (1)
