This is great news! I grew up in Oak Cliff, and one of my math teachers was also a cashier at the Texas Theatre. I am very happy to see that it’s been restored/renovated/whatever!
I think the reason this Joe DaSilva seems different that what you’ve heard is that he’s not the same Joe DaSilva that the city was unsuccessfully trying to negotiate with a decade or two ago. This the son, and after the father passed away, it took a few years for the family to decide who would control what. Joe “won” the Palace, much to Danbury’s good fortune.
That’s great! Exciting stuff going on. It’s a Good Thing.
Yes, it is great to see the marquee all lit up. All you Danburians have bought your tickets for the Film Fest, right?! ;–)
