How long has the ByTowne been around?

The ByTowne's a spin-off of the old Towne Cinema that lived on Beechwood Avenue in New Edinburgh. We've been at our 325 Rideau St. location since 1988. The cinema itself was built in 1947 and was called the Nelson Theatre. We're working on a page about the ByTowne's history which should be up and running soon.
