A weekly program focusing on the arts and entertainment

Talk about upgrades.

It was only a few years ago that much of the talk surrounding Riverside’s Fox Theater involved tearing it down and using its site for a parking .lot.

Now, Arts and Entertainment Editor Bob Sokolsky notes, the theater has been renamed the Fox Performing Arts Center and it is being saluted as a nucleus of the upturn that is turning downtown Riverside into a polished cultural headquarters.

There is still much to be done, Sokolsky says. But the approach toward that goal is being made and is a large improvement over previous efforts.

Truly, he adds, “That’s Entertainment.” And a lot more.
