2006 Brings Change
About 5 or 6 years ago the township bought the old Showcase Centerville Cinemas that went out of business, the movie theater is located right next to the Rec' Center. For many years the trustees struggled to decide in what to do with the building. Around 2004 a levy was proposed to renovate it to provide lecture halls, game courts and a variety of other activities to enrich the community. Unfortunately the levy did not pass and the building sat quietly for a couple years only being used for storage.
Just recently the building was renovated and now provides a teen center for local teens to come and hang out at every now and then. They also turned one of the rooms into a makeshift Theatre for the touring teens productions that held its first show on September 6 2006. The location was named Rec' West.

Famous quotes containing the words brings and/or change:
“An April Sunday brings the snow
Making the blossom on the plum trees green,
Not white. An hour or two, and it will go.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
