Traverse City's State Theatre is listed among movie houses in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other metropolitan markets in USA Today Travel's "10 great places to see a movie in splendor" list.
USA Today quotes Karen Plamer, editor of DailyCandy.com, "These theaters have their own quirky elements and personalities that make them magical places to go sit for a few hours." Palmer shared her favorite movie houses for the article.
About the State, the newspaper writes, "This theater was destroyed twice by fire before being rebuilt in 1949 with an astronomically correct starry ceiling that replicates an August night in Michigan. The theater is now operated by the Traverse City Film Festival and volunteers. On Monday and Wednesday nights, admission is 25 cents, and Tuesday includes free popcorn with any movie."
