Re: the Rosemary / Mahayana Temple: When passing nearby the other week, it looked as if the facade – the great green and brown pagoda marquee – was being torn down. I couldn’t stop to look closer. Can anyone else confirm or deny?

I held out faint hopes that if the distinctive Rosemary facade stayed up, perhaps one day we’d have an Asian cinema in Chinatown again. Also, it was just so emblematic of the area (huge, gorgeous pagoda at the top of Canal Street which remained after the the theatre was converted into a temple), it would be a shame if it were gone.
