Shopping center on East State St. In the lower right is the Athena Grand theater.

At this time the building that is now the theater was a Big Bear grocery store.

Hi Ryan, thanks for sharing that interesting piece of history about the theater in Athens County! We'd love to hear more about your memories from that time. Do you recall any other notable buildings or establishments in the area? Or perhaps any changes in the landscape since 1995? We'd appreciate any details you can provide.
