This Jan. 11, 2020 photo shows the Eastside Theater in Savannah, Ga. As the 1950s and ’60s found the Eastside Theater hosting the premiere entertainment for black Savannahians on the eastside, the following decades would not be as kind. While during its heyday, the theater would see matinee movies, live performances and 15-cent popcorn, the next decades would see the decay of the roof, the isolation of the property and the disappearance of its community purpose for the neighborhood.
