PASADENA, CA — On March 15th, the City of Pasadena will attempt to grant permits to gut the interior of the Raymond Theatre (formerly known as Perkin’s Palace). Our sixteen year battle to stop unnecessary development of the theater into an apartment/retail/shopping center will be over.
Construction crews and engineers are inside the theatre now preparing for demolition.
The theater owners (Gene & Marilyn Buchanan) are choosing to start building their project BEFORE the appellate courts make a decision on their proposed project.
We have a very good chance at stopping construction.
But we need $5,000 to take legal recourse to stop construction IMMEDIATELY!
Time is running out!
In less than three weeks, the Raymond Theatre will be gone forever!
We need donations of $25, $50, $100, $500, $1000 or more IMMEDIATELY.
ANONYMOUS DONATIONS ARE WELCOME
Please give what you can TODAY and send this e-mail to anyone you know that can help.

Raymond Theatre Receives Temporary Reprieve, Still in Danger of Demolition
A Brief Update…
The proposed project outlining the developers plan for the Raymond Theatre did NOT pass Design Concept Review (the first stage of Design Review hearings) on March 15, 2004. The hearing was continued to April 12, 2004.Â
We still have a very good chance at stopping construction. However, we are still under the gun to raise the necessary funds to bring another lawsuit should the plans ultimately be approved.
People from all over the world have been making donations to help stop demolition of the Raymond Theatre.
Currently, we need $5,000 to take legal recourse IMMEDIATELY!
Time is running out!Â
In less than three weeks the Raymond Theatre will be gone forever!
We need donations of $25, $50, $100, $500, $1000 or more..
