PRESS PHOTO BY LANI GOINS Demolition began March 3 on the former Boyd Theater on Broad Street. While safety fencing has closed the sidewalk and cuts off the view of the lower portion of the site, this bright yellow armed claw could be seen removing a corner of the structure. DLP Realty is developing a six-story apartment building on the site. The 1,200-seat Kurtz Theater opened in 1921 as a vaudeville showcase and later transitioned to showing moving pictures. The Boyd Theater, as it was called in its later years, closed its doors in 2011.
