Made Local with Lori Hinz: LoneTree Designs and the Historic Avalon Theater
First, meet Philip "Punk" Landis, owner-operator of LoneTree Designs on Front Street. Punk has transformed this metal art business into a one-stop shop for handcrafted, American-made décor. From powder-coated garden sculptures and wind spinners to personalized monogram signs and patriotic luminaries, every piece is built with pride. With America's 250th birthday in full swing, Punk's patriotic paks, eagle solar luminaries, and flags are flying off the shelves. He even carries xeriscaping — stunning, maintenance-free metal plants that never need watering.
Then, step inside the breathtaking Avalon Theater, a 1939 Art Deco masterpiece listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Emily Miller shares how the Sickle twins' generous bequest ensured this community treasure would live on forever, still hosting movies and live theater today.
