The Leon Theater, 500 block of West Tennessee Street, Tallahassee served the black community during segregation, from 1942 to 1967. In 1968, the Leon became the Campus Art Theater, featuring avant-garde and sexual-themed movies. In 1981, it became Randy's Campus Theater, showing a parade of X-rated films. The theater closed in 1985 and became a sanctuary for the homeless. It was later demolished in August 1996.
