So many are interested in preserving the Avalon except the owners -Many people in the past have volunteered to help preverse the theater – But the current owner has no interest in preserving the theater. If he did he would have never started to rip apart the exterior. Plywood is now nailed to the enterance. The backstage has been ripped out and he put in a second movie screen (without permits). The current owner just had a very good offer that would have saved the theater – yet he turned it down. So my question if the current owner does not care what can be done.

This whole circus about saving the theater is a game. Mr. Ellsworth is black mailing the entire community. His only interest is getting liquor license. A liquor is a privilege. A privilege that Mr. Ellsworth does not deserve. Through the years many interested parties have come forward to purchase and save the property – each time the deal falls through. If saving the theater means giving a liquor license to Ellsworth or any of his associates – I say put in those offices.
