I live 2 blocks from this theater, and all-though i did not go all the time, i did go every few weeks, it was falling apart (this is from about 96 to 00) but it was great, there was just some thing about it that i and many others loved… Though Loews owned it, all the people who worked there where awesome. Yes, among many others of this area, we all really miss this theater. As of 5-06-02, NOTHING has happened, a few months ago, a water pipe broke in the office/font doors, and some damage has been done, but nothing that bad, some one repaired it. The idea for the performing arts center and dance studio, failed because of the owner/who-ever/land lord, is asking WAY to much for the lot. There has been a few rumors going around that, some one is going to buy it, fix it up, and bring back the 1 screen, from the oddly shaped 4. But that is just a rumor, Ill be sure to post again if i hear any thing.

I do miss it though.. :(
