For those that come across this historic theater, if you want to help us rebuild, here is our official donation page: http://www.gofundme.com/TowneCinema . We appreciate any and all donations, big or small…..

JHJHJH, we don’t have plans to rebuild in the same spot. There is not enough room for the planned three screens, there was constant flooding from a natural spring in the concrete flooring and around some of the seats, and it wasn’t handicap accessible. Right now we are having a very hard time raising the funds to rebuild…

JHJHJH, Towne Cinema suffered damage from the tornado; our 3 doors were ripped assunder and wind tore down one curtain, some sound fold and blew debris all over the seats in the auditorium. Rain and melted snow seeped down from the above office through our ceiling and caused many drop ceiling tiles to get wet and heavy and fall down throughout the whole building. You can view pictures on our facebook page (just search for Towne Cinema). We are currently looking to reopen and build in another location.

being underground is perhaps the theater escaped the tornado damage, collected or someone can find something about it?
