Episode 54: Tivoli Theatre

January 15, 2020

We did the math. It’s not that far. Think about it this way, if you lived in Greenwood (Indiana), you’d probably not hesitate to drive to downtown Indianapolis to do something, right? This is the same distance. What are we talking about? Driving to Spencer, Indiana (just west of Bloomington a few miles) to check out one of their special places (and save money, too!). Spencer is home to the Historic Tivoli Theatre and in this episode of At Home in Bloomington, we talk with Andrea and Rob White (and baby Charlotte) and Jane Rubeck, all integral members of the Tivoli community, helping keep the history alive while creating a community gathering place featuring theater, music and $5 first run movies. $5? Really! And only $3 for a soda and popcorn! (and free movies on Thursday nights). And so much more! Not to mention a great restoration story full of bird infestations, massive foundation replacement, maybe some ghosts and replicating the stars in the sky in 1928 Check it out!

While you are thinking about Owen County, tune into our throwback episode, #45 with Uplands PEAK Sanctuary. We talk about all the important work the Sanctuary is doing and also touch on quite a bit of Owen County history! And in our REAL-List segment, we help you understand how to be a home buyer and seller at the same time. If you are thinking of transitioning to a new home, this one is for you.
