Challenger I am amazed that you could possibly think that the village board would even entertain any thoughts of reversing the ordinance to demolish the theratre and prepare for redevelopment.
Do you think that you could influence the trustees to reverse their decision? It would take a new resolution and the change of 1 trustee vote.Do you really think that it is possible?
Challenger,maybe you should drop the remark “whiner”.Sounds like bashing!
Just answer 1 question for me.
You said" I am talking about giving the theatre another chance.“
How can you possibly have said that in light of the passed resolution to demolish and prepare for re-development.
Well challenger there you go again.You just wrote that “more name calling and bashing."
There has been no name calling by me.There has been no bashing by me.
The only thing that I have done was to pose questions to you.
I have not called you names or bashed you.
You have on the other hand replied to the questions that I have asked with( "ps duper supporter I don’t respond to your whining”)
I will repeat.I have not called you names or bashed you.
I have questioned your posts,but you have not responded to those qusetions other than say" (“ ps duper supporter I do not respond to your whining”)
If that isn’t a bashing statement by you then there is no such thing as bashing.
A quote from the last post.
“The majority of residents applaud the efforts of the trustees to finally move forward….even if it is a step backwards by demolishing the historic building.Progress is what it is."
No,it is just an OXYMORON!!!!What it is is a mistake.
How can taking a step backwards by demolishing be moving forward?
Seems like that type of thing is prevelant by 4 of the village trustees.Government by OXYMORON
What is very intriguing is that if you do a profile on this challenger identity by clicking on his post name,he lists his favorite theatres as #1Dupage Theatre.#2Glen Art Theatre.#3 Tivoli Theatre.#4Wheaton Grand Theatre.
Wouldn’t you think that a person (challenger)who lists his #1 favorite theatre (that has a date with the wrecking ball and is on the national registery of historical places and is in his own home town) would be upset with the decision to demolish it.One would think that he would be working as hard as he could to save his #1 favorite theatre.
I offer an alternate solution to this challenger person.
Since you claim the dupage theatre your favorite,then get involved in an alternate solution to save it.
If your alternate stinks,then so be it.
Well then,since you (Challenger )don’t go to village board metings
and you are not a village trustee,please explain just how you are going to “give the theatre another chance."
Please explain just how you could rescind the vote to demolish the theatre.
Please explain just how you could rescind the vote to reject all federal and state grants that the village was awarded for the restoration of the theatre.
You (Challenger) said "I am talking about giving the theatre another chance”.How are you going to rescind the vote to demolish?Please answer that,because that is what is going to have to happen.
Maybe you should go to the village board meetings and express your desires to give the theatre another “chance”.I am sure it would make excellent listening.
Just go before the village board and ask the board to rescind the vote to demolish the theatre and give the the theatre “another chance”.
Best wishes on debut performance before the village board.
I will wait until the next village board meeting and listen to your presentation on how you are going to give the theatre people another chance at the preservation and restoration.Should make for interesting listening.Maybe you can explain away the formal refusal of all federal and state grants.Maybe you can explain THE CHANGE OF HEART.
Since your resolution to demolish was passed,you will have to formally rescind that resolution.
Good luck.I will support you.You have the ball now.
Deb Dynako,
If you read the response to you from the post above you should get the picture.All of his remarks just give him away.
Beware.He talks like the same trustee who has fought for the last 7 years for the destruction of the theatre.He talks about giant ego’s.
Look who is calling the kettle black.
Read his words.No respect for an elder(Mr.John Egan)who has given so much to historical preservation.
Now he wants to give another 30,60,or 90 days to come up with a new plan.WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART?
The reality is that there is no change of heart towards the theatre.
There is only gloating.There is also a foreboding about the vote to execute the theatre.
Beware of who you respond to on this website.
As a supporter of the efforts to preserve the Dupage Theatre,I read the messages that have been posted on this website.There are a lot of statements about the friends lying about their finances.I will tell you that the friends and the foundation members don’t lie.
The foundation is,was and always has been under the watchfull eyes of the village board.
With the latest developments about the fate of the theatre,it is becoming apparent that the theatre restoration FOES are just GLOATING on this website.
The village board approved demolition of the structures without a plan for redevelopment.The village board approved rejecting all federal and state grants for the restoration of the theatre.There isn’t much more to be done before the bulldozers come.It is a done deal for the EXECUTION of the theatre.
So what is the POINT of the anti- theatre group posting more hate on this website.
Could it be that the anti-theatre group is looking for assurances that in the big scheme of things,bringing down the theatre was the right thing to do? Are the anti-theatre group afraid that maybe later they will be be lamenting their actions?
It serves no purpose for the anti-theatre group to post messages on this website,other than to pacify their own insecurities or to spread their vengence toward those who wanted to preserve the theatre.
IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE.
They should at least respect the last days of the theatre and respect those who vigoursly kept the restoration efforts alive.
Mr.Difino’s statements on this website are very strange and puzzling.Mr.Difino states “I would suggest that those opposed to the theatre and the plan attached to it, should stay off a restoration site.” Yet Mr.Difino had made 4 additional statements and has made 4 additional posts.Strange.
Mr.Difino states “ I have contacted the friends of the dupage theatre about working with them to preserve a good portion or even all of the theatre as part of a new library plan."
Strange.
Lombard has oficially stated that it will reject ALL federal and state grants issued to restore the theatre.
Does Mr.Difino expect the voters of Lombard to vote for the restoration of the Dupage Theatre as part of a library referendum?
Especially after refusing all grants.
I believe that Mr.Difino has pubilicy stated that he is against using TAX dollars for the restoration of the Dupage Theatre.
A referendum to restore the theatre as part of the library would surely be using TAX dollars.
Very strange.
Maybe Mr.Difino could clarify his statements.
the village board members agreed to the
release of tif funds for phase1 of restoration
when the theater foundation submitted
a signed contract for phase 1 construction.
a year later some board members changed the
agreement stating that they will not approve
release of tif funds until the foundation
shows proof of funding for phase 1
this a a complete about facefor the board.
not what was agreed upon
tif dollars.
sometimes in the eyes of the beholder
sometimes the squeaky wheel get the oil
“ie"
33k of tif money to pay for facad work
on 33 north main
paint job
i could never figure that deal
maybe it had something to do with votes
duper supporter
