![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

Grandview closes for lobby renovations
Prior to the renovations, the dazzling theater developed a lackluster facade.
Mann Grandview Theatre closed on Jan. 22 to undergo a second round of interior renovations.
Mann Grandview and Highland theaters were both granted $333,750 in loans by St. Paul in 2014. Both theaters began renovations in April and August 2018, respectively. While Highland’s entire interior was revamped, including its stand, only Grandview’s seats, draperies, and carpeting were replaced in 2018.
Now, Grandview is closing a second time to renovate its stand and lobby area. The theater will be getting new carpet, new benches, and a new popper for the popcorn, according to assistant manager Jordan Fulin.
“I’m looking forward [to the renovations]. After Highland’s renovations, the theater looks very nice. It’s very much needed—the last renovation happened over 10 years ago,” Fulin said.
“I wonder how much it’s actually going to look different,” cashier Jennifer Yeung said.
The theater hopes to reopen the week of Feb. 1.
