I, and I’m sure others would as well, would like to see the full written transcript of the Fox29 news report on the Boyd that aired on the night of Thursday, May 22, 2008, while meantime let me, too, say thank you to Cinema Treasures for its steadfast coverage on this!
This is it folks – it’s crunch time! There will never be a better time to take advantage of all the publicity and intense attention heaped on the Boyd. People all across the country now know that an exemplary Art Deco masterpiece is in peril. Live Nation and the City of Philadelphia need to hear us loud and clear. The BOYD is a national treasure, it is an important part of not only Philadelphia’s history but of the history of movie palaces in America. Respectful preservation and reuse as an entertainment venue is the only logical option!
Theatre Historical Society stands with Cinema Treasures alongside The Friends of the Boyd to move the Boyd from the Endangered List to the Success List!
