ANN ARBOR, MI -- A dumpster fire exposed the Michigan Theater and adjoined Liberty Street businesses to flames shortly after noon, Saturday, June 11. Officials from the Michigan Theater and Cinetopia confirmed that the theater was not shut down and films continued to show throughout the ordeal. The north, right side of the building -- which houses the East Liberty Street Tropical Smoothie Cafe -- was exposed to a few flames but nothing substantial, officials said. The incident shut down East Liberty Street traffic outside the famous art house between Maynard and State streets for close to two hours. Ann Arbor fire officials said they don't yet know how the fire started or if any of the businesses' workers were to blame.
