Unfortunately no help has been forthcoming from Mr. Dobbs. We will continue towards our goal of restoring this “Grand Old Lady”. One day we will be be open for business again.
I had emailed Lou Dobbs over a year ago and never got a response. I am a fan of his and had hoped to get at least an encouragement from him but I know he is a busy man and it has been over 50 years since his family moved from here. Perhaps in the future he will be contacted again and have some interest in what we are trying to do. I am sure someone in his position has to filter carefully any correspondence he might receive.
I would like to give you a short update on the old Palace. There will be a lighting ceremony for the newly restored “Palace” sign April 9th 2010. It is a beautiful sign complete with all new neon and new paint. We will close off the block from traffic for the evening and will have musical entertainment and refreshments. We will also try to spark a little nostalgia by displaying classic cars from bygone eras as well as vintage bikes parked in front of the theater just like when we were kids. At dark we will flip the switch and take a big step toward restoring the Palace and one day be open for business. It is just a step but it is a step forward.
