Somethings are best left to the imagination. Enough said on that one.

More sour grapes. Cry me a river. Will you?
Why on earth you would even consider his posts factual is beyond all understanding. Didn’t you call him the local village idiot?
Didn’t you say his agenda was something other than the theater?
Didn’t you say his incoherent ramblings of under the table deals and conspiracy theories are as ridiculous as he is?

Did we raise money? Oh that’s a good one. Cry me a river over that one also. That was probably most difficult thing to do, considering the wrecking ball has been parked outside the rear door for the last seven years.
Would you give money to save a building when the demolition threat looms overhead like a gigantic cloud? I doubt it.
We applied for and received grants ( state and federal ) only to have them rejected by the village fathers. What a bridge burner that was.
So to call me a liar and a fraud is just more sour grapes.
Cry me a river.

Cry me a river. Will you? For your information. It is a phrase used to express an I don’t care attitude to a crying moaning person’s opinion of what the facts are. Especially when they are wrong.

Blame it on the previous owner? Oh that’s a good one. Cry me a river. Will you? How about the present owner? Why do you want to play the blame game? There is plenty of blame to go around.
Is that the message TheaterBuff1 is trying to say? It could be.
It’s easy for you to hide somewhere behind a fictious post name and throw stones at the people who wanted to preserve and protect it.
Then while behind your fictious post name you criticize and call a person a buffoon for expressing his views about why the demolition was allowed to happen.
Who is the real buffoon? For whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.
Your type of vocabulary is mean spirited at the least.
“Stay in Philly and eat cheese steak sandwhiches"
Oh. That’s a real good one.
That sends a real good message about the mind set of Lombard? Doesn’t it?

Respect. The second pillar of “character counts” in Lombard.
Fairness. The fourth pillar of “character counts” in Lombard. Your posts reflect neither.
May the spirit of Christmas season be upon you.
May you and your family have a joyous merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Peace.

How wonderful that is for the both of them. I fail to understand why you felt it was necessary to put that information here.
Seriously. It just makes you look like a fruitcake.

Have a very Merry and Joyful Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

A quote from a post that can’t be found. Hearsay. She said he said.
Not admissible.
Lost plaster from the lobby.
Cry me a river over that one. Will you?
The brick is to brittle for reuse.
Oh that’s a real good one.
Cry me a river over that one also. Will you?

The lawsuit filed by the friends of the Dupage Theatre, the Lombard Historical Society ,and the Illinois Preservation Society against the village of Lombard to stay the demolition of the Dupage Theatre for 6 months was denied today in court.The judge found for the defendant{the Village of Lombard}
A dark day indeed.

hdtv267. Just “what” do you want to read about the Dupage Theatre on this message board?

So what? The only liar was Big Idea Corp.I never trusted his motives from day # one.Big Idea was trying to be everything to everybody. The savior of Lombard.Unfortunatly the Village of Lombard didn’t see through him.

All of the hard work,meetings,ect.ect.Doesn’t mean anything now.
It will be interesting to see just what becomes of the property now.
Like the song say’s.“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
People’s assured retirement.What else.
Greed is good.Remember that line.Sure applies well for Lombard.

2 allies of theater sue to delay razing
Published September 27, 2005

LOMBARD — Two groups fighting to keep the historical DuPage Theatre in Lombard from being torn down are asking a court to enforce a local ordinance that would prohibit the demolition until after a six-month waiting period.
Lawsuits filed Monday in DuPage County Circuit Court on behalf of the Lombard Historical Commission and the Friends of the DuPage Theatre, a non-profit group dedicated to saving the theater, named the village, village trustees and village president in the suit.
While Village President William Mueller has not voted on the issue and supports efforts to restore the theater, the suit asks the court to force Mueller to abide by a village statute that prohibits a demolition until after a six-month period that gives supporters time to find an alternative use or another buyer for the property, attorney Zachary Wilson said.
Mueller, who had not been served or seen the lawsuit, declined to comment until he could review the suit. The board voted June 2 to accept bids to demolish the theater.

Melders.You are right.They are trying to bring down this board.Let the moderator handle their postings.And I will let it go at that.

true class offers nothing to this message board about saving the Dupage Theatre.I will not respond to true class.I will post around true class.
I hope that the other preservationists who post on this website will do the same.

Challenger.Let’s let by gones be by gones.Let us start a new round of talks.Forget what was said before on this message board.Both sides have been very outspoken.Issues and opinions are at a peak.Let’s take a calmer approach to the Dupage Theatre restoration.
I would like to know just what a new group could accomplish that our group couldn’t? But the most important thing is would a “new” group be able to change the vote to demolish the theatre.Also there is the issue of the grant money that was rejected by the village board.Could that grant money ever be restored?Exactly what do you mean when you say “a group that will work with the Village and not against it”? Please explain!
Just a thoughtful reminder.Caps lock “please”.Remember that.

Challenger.Please don’t try and stop the free discussion on the issues of saving the Dupage Theatre.Remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln.
“Public sentiment is everything.With public sentiment nothing can fail.Without it nothing can succeed."
Remember that?
Challenger.What ideas do you have about saving the Dupage Theatre?
Feel free to post your ideas.

Dude.Those are “great” ideas.I feel that a petition drive is a “must”.
I am waiting for Ms.Dynako and toni to respond.Toni.The petition drive.
Reconsider it.Just talking is taking up valuable “walking time”.
The “friends” are “not a social club”.Let’s not loose sight of our goal.
So far there is “nothing” to" celebrate".

True class. Doubtful.No. Wrong again.But keep trying.All you are doing is avoiding the isues.Well it isn’t working for you.I will just “post around you."
Let’s talk about a petition drive.Let’s talk about a library and a fully restored Dupage Theratre side by side.Meddlers had a real good idea..
Let’s talk about it.

hdtv267 is absolutely right.Let’s stop the personal attacks.
I liked meddlers idea of the library and a fully restored Dupage Theatre
side by side.Both complementing each other.What a dynamic duo that would be for downtown Lombard.
Let’s talk about it.
Just a reminder to toni and Ms.Dynako.Time is marching on.The clock won’t stop for the friends.Consider the door to door petition drive.Please!
