The historic Columbia Theatre in downtown St. Helens is sporting a new screen for movie watchers. After closing at the beginning of 2020 as a result of the pandemic, the theatre offered a Friday night drive-up popcorn and merchandise sale. Almost every Friday night, from 5 to 7 p.m., cars have been lining up in front of the Columbia Theatre to purchase popcorn buckets for $5 a piece, as well as an assortment of movie posters, t-shirts and gift cards for the theater. This restored single-screen theater has a snack bar, projection equipment, and digital sound system.
