“FranklinBlah” I am not quite sure what you are talking about- or if you know what you are talking about. The restorations plans are in place and nothing is being ‘trashed’. The Heritage Franklin stepped in and purchased the Theatre so that you will be able to return there and watch a movie and drink a beer! The thing to remember is that the previous business model was bad- clearly- since they went out of business. So restoring the theatre to its original glory and reopening it as a multi-use entertainment venue that shows movies, concerts, etc. is simply making better use of the facility while having a viable business model. visit www.savethefranklintheatre.org
Just realized no one has yet posted anything about this- but there’s great news about the effort to save the Franklin Cinema.
The Heritage Foundation of Franklin has secured a one-year interest-free loan as a first step in rasing funds to own and renovate the old cinema into a muilti-use entertainment complex featuring movies, live music, special events, corporate events, etc. The expected close date is late October, 2007.
