May God bless you Melders for your level headed comments. So many have been arguing and dishonest over this whole issue. I baked pies for Robert and Gary from my block. They told me that the facade and marquee would be saved and now everyone wants it torn down. I even baked a special pie for them and now they want the whole building torn down. The dishonesty in this town has gone out of control. I gave $25 to the Friends of the DuPage Theatre to help save the show and then they became dishonest and knocked her down.
Bles you for your honesty Melders. Are you going to support our bake sale? Many of us at the senior center will be baking to help save the ticket box. What is your favorite kind of pie Melders?
Buff,
You seem to be a very smart person. Will you consider coming to Lombard to run for President of the Friends of the DuPage Theatre? Can you help us save our marquee and ticket box? We are planning a bake sale to raise funds. DupageDude is going to help as well as Kevin. Do you like pie Buff? I make very good pie. I have help from many of the senior citizens from the senior center to help with the baking and selling of our goods. Do you think Barack Obama likes pies? I wonder if Danny Glover will come help us save the theatre. Since you are a theatre enthusiast Buff, maybe you know Danny Glover. Can you call him to help? I loved Danny in The Color Purple. I love movies about slaves. My favorite was Roots. I also liked Mississipi Burning. Do you like slave movies Buff?
Buff,
I think Barack Obama will make an excellent president, don’t you? We should write him a chain letter about the theatre and see if we can get him to come to town to rally the troops. Maybe we can save the marquee and ticket box too! What a great photo opportunity for Steve Spoden to have Senator Obama lecturing from a podium in front of the ticket box. Have you ever met Steve Spoden theatrebuff? He has nice fluffy gray hair in a pony tail. He takes very good pictures. Did you see the picture of Barack Obama in his bathing suit? I got goose bumps when I saw it. He is one of the handsomest colored men I have seen. He is almost as cute as Danny Glover. Did you see Letha Weapon 3 buff? I like the part when he is sitting on a toilet rigged with an explosive device. What a handome negro he is. He’s my favorite one. Which one is your favorite Buff?
Kevin,
My husband and I love Sara Lee! We used to buy their cute little cakes whe we were first married. My doctor does not allow me to enjoy their products any more. It would be wonderful if they could help you save the marquee! Do you think they will open a convenience store on the property? I loved the old Butternut Bread store on st. Charles rd. I was sorry to see it go. Perhaps I could get Robert and Gary to help bring Sara Lee here. I know Robert enjoys cake and Pies. Do you like cake and pie Kevin?
I couldn’t agree with you more Mr. Buff. I have been living behind the theater for sometime now, almost 60 years. There has been much arguing and fighting amongst neighbors in the community. Do you live in Lombard Buff? I hope that we can heal ourselves soon. We are planning a bake sale to save the marquee. I will be baking pies when my check is deposited next month. Do you like peach cobbler Buff? What is your opinion on the marquee being used for a senior center? My neighbors promised me that the Library or a new senior center will be built where the theatre was. Do you think a bake sale will help save the marquee Mr. Buff? I wonder if they will be ready by lilactime.
It was a lovely theatre. I want to bake pies for a bake sale to help the cause Ray. I think the street lamps in Lombard are beautiful. Do you think we will find the lamps Ray? I will bake a pie for anyone that finds them.
Kevin,
One of your fundraisers called me tonight to tell me about your meeting on Thursday. He was very nice but not much of a conversationalist. I wrote his name and number down for future reference. How long has Jack Meehoff been working with the Friends? He didn’t seem too interested in the bake sale. Are you still planning a bake sale Kevin?
Mr. Anderson has one along with a few posters that the demolition guys found. One of them was from the 1930’s. I was a very young girl at the time. Those pictures from Russel Phillips are beautiful. What a wonderful theater that is. Where is it? I would love to go see a movie there. I hope it’s not too far away. My husband is no longer able to drive because of his vision. Do they have tours for Seniors to go and see the Russell Phillips theater? It is very wonderful Dude. I would love to go there with some others from the senior center.
Dude,
We left two pies on your porch. I hope you enjoy them. Sorry we missed you. Tell me more about these artifacts the Friends have taken from the theater. When are we going to have a bake sale?
Dude,
I just spoke with my daughter. She has reminded me that you are Jim Devine. She is going to have my son-in-law come over tommorrow to take a drive over. He wants to meet you anyway. I think it is so very nice of you to re-imburse me for the baking goods. We are on a fixed income and 60 dollars means much. I go to 11:00 church and Nick will pick me up around 1 p.m.. Nick has your address so no need for you to post it publically. That was one of the lessons we learned at the seminar at the senior center.
God Bless you Jim. I’m lookiing forward to working with you!
Anne
Dude,
Why are you threatening me? Have I done something to offend you? What is your name? Where do you live? I thought we were going to work together? What is the matter with you? How can I help?
Kevin,
I already purchased all my baking supplies. I spent over $60 on flour, eggs, filling and other supplies. I wish you would treat me fairly and live up to what you promised. I suppose I can find some families that can use some baked goods. I will reach out for Pastor Hammor at the church. He should be able to find someone that can use them.
Once again, we were told by the police officer not to invite people to our home to give out personal information. Can I have my son review it and send it in?
Did you Have a happy new year Kevin? I know it’s been hard for you with the tear down and all. But cheer up Kevin. You at the very least had a better new years than Sadaam Hussein, don’t you think? I think it’s horrible that they hanged that man on TV.
Any word on the bake sale? Or do you think the TBills are enough?
I would like to think I could get more than $1 for my pies. I hand knead all of the dough for the crusts despite my arthritis. On a good day (if my sciatica is not acting up) I should be able to bake 5 pies for you and your friends. I’m sure I can get at least Pat, Martha, Virginia and Florence to help out as well.
Do you have any idea how much funds we will need to raise to save the marquee? If not, I’m sure Kevin or the Dude can answer that question. This is so exciting that every one is now working together to save the marquee. Even my neighbor Robert is on board. He bought an entire pallet of bricks from the old theatre to use as a patio for his garbage cans. I’m sure he will be eager to get on board with our team. Maybe even Gary will help out. He has been filled with holiday spirit ever since they theater was torn down. He wanted something done about the flapping plastic bags years ago. He played all kinds of loud music on the day they began tearing it down. He even cooked food on his Weber grill for the workers and my husband and some of the other neighbors brought over a keg of beer.
Isn’t it wonderful now that everyone is working together Ray? When do you think we will have the bake sale. I need to get to Mr. Z’s and load up on baking supplies. I’ll stand by until I hear back from you gentleman. May God bless all of you!
Do you live in the Lilactown? You seem to be very hateful towards some of the men that are fighting for what they believe is good for our community. We have had a very long and biter struggle over our now demolished theater. What would you like to see done with the land now that it is available? Most of us think the marquee should be saved and put on a new structure. We need a new senior community center. Would you be in support of helping us to raise funds to save the marquee? We could use it to help promote events and activities.
Hi Kevin,
I listen to my neighbors and I want peace. I believe and agree with them when they insist that Lombard could have done better with my pension and social security money as well as my property taxes then spend it on what truly is an ugly building. We need to heal as a community and try to focus on preserving Lombard’s homey feeling rather than build 95 condos.
I think my son-in-law may have made some angry comments on this website when he was here visiting. I hope he didn’t offend you. He owns much land here in Lombard and feels very strongly about the theater land.
I can assure you that I want preservation of Lombard’s history. I spend much of my time with Pat and other friends from the historical society down at the Senior Center. None of us want to have any more condominiums built. We still belive in preservation of our community.
Are you interested in our help in raising money to save the marquee? We can donate a very large supply of baked goods for a bake sale to help raise funds. I know that the Friends of the Dupage Theater has had sales to raise money in the past. We are there for you if you need it Kevin.
Please let me know if you need our help. My cobbler and pies can raise so much money if you want our help. Maybe we could have Bake Sale put on the marquee. So many Lombardians drive past it I’m sure we will make a bundle to save it!
Oh, and I forgot to answer your question about my birthday! Silly me. Unfortunately I can’t give you that information. My husband and I recently went to an awareness seminar on fraud at the senior center. We were advised never to give out such information. A couple of months ago Mrs. Neary gave out her personal information to some men that were selling tickets to the Fireman’s Ball and they made all kinds of charges to her bank account. Isn’t that awful? That is why I no longer give cash or check dnations. I prefer to bake something as a donation. Are you and Kevin planning to have a bake sale to raise money for a new theatre? I would gladly bake some pies and cookies for you. My specialty is peach cobbler. Would you like to try some?
Dude,
That is so very thoughtful of you! I’m so glad to see you are healing. I always new that you were a nice person. Once you get to be my age one tends to no longer look forward to birthdays. I try to focus more on holidays and such.
Do you think we will soon see movies playing again in a new theater downtown? I know you and Kevin are working hard to see that it happens. I would love to see some old classics played there. Did you get a chance to watch It’s a Wonderful Life over the holidays? I just love Uncle Billy’s character. I felt so bad when he lost all of that money. Lombard kind of reminds me of Bedford Falls. We don’t have an old movie house like Bedford Falls but we do have other similarities. Who do you think our George Bailey is? Our Mr. Potter?
Kevin, you enjoy classical music too! How coincidental that we both enjoy the Roman Empire and classical music! Are you celebrating tonight? My husband and I are going to have a whiskey sour at midnight. My doctor tells me I shouldn’t but it’s only once a year. And besides it makes hubby a bit frisky!
Oh Kevin! I just love it when you get silly. It’s good to see you are starting to heal. It’s good that you are getting your sense of humor back. Are you an enthusiast on the Roman Empire? You fought demolition like a gladiator. You should be proud despite the fact that the theatre has fallen. don’t feel bad Kevin. The Roman Empire fell too. Those damn Germans took them down when the Rhine River froze over allowing them to cross over and invade. Did you study much about the Dark Ages Kevin? The Germans seem to always have a hand in destruction throughout history. Once again, Germans had something to do with the destruction of the theatre. I think Kurt Lentsch is German. Is Bob Difino and Robert Biddle German? That would make sense, wouldn’t it?
K.F. and Crazy Ray,
You really should stop arguing and start loving one another. My neighbor has informed me that the entire building is going to be demolished before summer anyway. There should be no reason to attack each other any more. Love one another. Peace on Earth, good will towards men.
God bless Bob, Gary, Bruce, Kurt and the other Angels sent from heaven to protect us from the evil doers in construction companies and preservation societies.

I love janet Davies. She is a sweet person. Do you like her Ray? I love television programs about small towns. Do you like to watch TV Ray?
Kevin,

Why did you fail to meet us? We drove 20 minutes out to Woodland and you didn’t answer the door? Is everything OK?
Good morning world! What a beautiful day.
Dude,
I just spoke with my daughter. She has reminded me that you are Jim Devine. She is going to have my son-in-law come over tommorrow to take a drive over. He wants to meet you anyway.

God bless Bob, Gary, Bruce, Kurt and the other Angels sent from heaven to protect us from the evil doers in construction companies and preservation societies.
I would like to send some of my fruitcake to all of the theatre supporters so that they can begin healing and join in the Christmas spirit.
