“What’s worse? Seeing a former storied cinema as a book store or demolished.” They both suck, I think. The older cinemas survived quite well all this time, and now they need other ways to increase income – get creative and think positive. It’s not a “surprise” they are going under, but just sad. Toronto has not much respect for it’s history in regards to buildings. Still, I look to the positive work that some are doing to save old cinemas (http://theatred.com/index.htm) – that or some rich folks should step forward!
Nice about the Royal, I plan to check it out soon too!
Something exciting is going on here in Toronto. See the article link below. Could this be the saviour of other cinemas? Let’s hope so!

The company plans to do post-production film work in four editing suites during the day and show movies in the evenings and on weekend afternoons."

Maybe there is hope for the Kingsway and other old cinemas with this new approach. Let’s not let them turn into grocery stores or something equally depressing!
