In our latest round of voting for CuriousCT, readers selected this question for us to answer: "Just wondering what's going on with the Capitol Theater downtown, history of it, what year it was last opened, and any chance of it coming back?"

John Ruddy, who writes about local history for The Day, with assistance from New London reporter Greg Smith, is researching the question, and an article will be published this weekend.

To submit your question for consideration to CuriousCT, go online to bit.ly/CuriousCT.

Another round of voting will be held soon.
