I just moved (In Oct.) to Kenedy to help care for my mother-in-law. Being a former theater manager I was happy to see that something was going to be done with this old shell. I must say that this is by far no ghost town with a population over 3,000 it is more like a suburb than a town. The person that works in personal in the towns Wal-Mart informed us that a Supercenter is slated for August. There is enough going on here to support a Dairy Queen, Churches, Pizza Hut, and a Sonic all within 300 yards of each other. This small town has 5 gas stations. Next door to the theater is a Movie Gallery (movie rental) that only rents DVD. with all this I see the town supporting a movie theater very easily. The only other theater is The Rio 6 in Beeville about an hour away. If current owners see there way of matching the cost of the Rio experience. Then this theater could do very well. While registering with this site so I could post I could post I checked www.oldrialto.com The theater was robbed of its tools. The set back is terrible and not supporting to the new owners. I hope that the owners can still see it threw.
