CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A cultural center in downtown Cedar Rapids is coming back to life. And this week, we'll get better idea of what the restored Paramount Theater will look like.

The flood of 2008 left a heartbreaking sight inside the historic theatre.

The restoration project will not only repair the flood damage, but offer a new seating layout. It will also have better acoustics and lighting as well as expanded staging areas and some exterior improvements.

The public is invited to see the plans for the future of the Paramount. Both are this Thursday at the U.S. Cellular Center. One is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other is from 4 to 7 p.m.
