Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Regency Commerce on Jul 2, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Chuck1231, not much info on CT I would stake my life on, except for Michael Coate! Some folks really throw some garbage on when they add a theater, they are not very careful at all. Even stuff found in Boxoffice, Ads etc. sometimes has mistakes in it. What can you expect when sometimes you go back 100 years.

As for me, I try to straighten things out and add stuff I find all over. Most of the time I add a question mark at the end cause I’m not sure, but I guess it’s better to post than not to. Sometimes it gets other people to comment. If nothing else it gives a general idea and is beter than nothing, which is what my wife says about me!
