Country western venue planned for Cedar Rapids theatre site
Hiawatha Realtor Alice Earhart buys the former Cedar Rapids Community Theatre buildings for $45,000 and plans Ali’s Opry Saloon and Cafe at 12th Avenue and Third Street SE. She aims to open December 15 with live music later, converting the corner space into a bar cafe with auditorium access and a dance floor. Renovation began three weeks ago. Earhart will move Ali Real Estate upstairs. The CRCT occupied the site for 27 years before moving to the Iowa Theatre.
